Tell students what isn't important to worry about in the assignment

Instructor labels –

Green circle = the assignment

Gray circle = what students think is important

Include a section in the assignment that clearly spells out what you DON’T care about for grading. It’s as important as the rubric you use for grading.

At least perfect the right thing. pic.twitter.com/nTtyT5gQuE
