Teach students how to monitor the completion of long-range assignments with a task management log. Initially, students should define each task and delineate the steps required to complete a long-range project. Set completion date goals for the various sub-tasks that will allow them to easily meet the assignment due date. Make suggestions that will help students effectively deal with situations in which they miss the deadlines they have set for themselves. Suggest that students use a task management log to monitor each phase of their work.
