Homework? What's Homework?
Students have homework EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!
Sometimes that homework is an assignment that wasn't finished in
class and other times it's work on a project with a future due
date. However, homework also includes daily reading practice
and review of class notes. Homework can also include doing
extra reading about a topic, going beyond what was covered in class
in order to have a broader and deeper understanding of a concept or
event. The worst thing a student can do is to not review on a
regular, i.e. daily, basis and then try to cram before a test or
formal assessment. Doing a little bit every day makes success
more certain and less stressful!
