Provide multiple deadlines for small segments of larger projects to teach students time management skills.

  • Segmented projects will be less overwhelming for students because of the manageable size of the pieces.
    • Multiple deadlines will result in higher quality student work.
  • This also allows students to seek help throughout the project.

Ask students’ permission before intervening by touching their machines to avoid stepping in and interrupting their learning unnecessarily.
Follow up the question “How are you?” with asking your students deeper questions, like “How’s your stress level?”, to show you care and to dig below the surface-level small talk when you bump into your students.
Adjust all assignments to be a certain length in order to create and maintain consistent deadlines (e.g., weekly) so students remember when their homework is due.
