I will share two of my best practices. My first best practice has been to develop check lists. I commonly use a checklist at the beginning of the week in the initial weekly announcement to outline (and remind) what assignments are due that week. Secondly, on the more involved assignments I will include a checklist with reminders they should complete before they submit their final assignment. My second best practice is to post additional announcements and reminders on the discussion board about common mistakes or confusions that week. The things that I post generally come from my past experience in the course. Perhaps students historically demonstrate difficulty with a certain type of problem on their homework. Then I will post some additional resources and clarifications on this. They can then look at the material at their own speed and leisure. Best, Brian Stout
