As part of my online lectures I always like to take the opportunity to provide a brief overview of the assignments each week. The intention of this presentation is not necessarily to provide responses to the questions so the students can use them in the assignments. The objective of this discussion is to present the expectations and discuss the relevance of the assignments to the material being presented. It's also an opportunity for the students to ask questions about the assignment and an opportunity to share with them some supplemental resources that may be used any assignments. The assignments themselves already have the narratives regarding purpose, expect patience, relevance, and the basic elements that are expected, but the online synchronous review allows them to present questions that may not only be of importance to those attending the synchronous mode but also those attending asynchronously. The week after, once assignments are completed, I also take the opportunity to discuss the model answers so they can compare expectations with what is considered acceptable and at the same time understand what specific areas can be improved in upcoming assignments. Although the specifics for each student is posted in the grade book, I find it best to gather general observations from all assignments within one section and present them as an overall platform to improve the quality of the upcoming assignments. This may be a little longer than what is presented in this module, but I found that it has been very effective for the students in the online environment.
