Strategy 2: Revisions on assignments.

Why do this?

This provides students with the opportunity to show improvement and rewards putting in effort. When students do not have a chance to revise their work or show improvement on future assignments, the feedback you provide can easily be forgotten. On the other hand, when students get the chance to complete a revision, they are pushed to consider the feedback and actively incorporate it into their work.

How do I do this?

After handing back an assignment, set a deadline by which students will be able to hand in a revised version of their work for feedback and a re-grade. Encourage (or require) students to meet with you in-person to discuss their ideas and plans for revision.
