Set up a simple procedure for grading homework. Depending on the subject, you might consider having students check their own work. Sharing work with peers to get feedback can also be effective. Large projects may be presented to the whole class or to small groups. You will want to grade the most important projects yourself. Record the assignment and points earned on a Homework Grade Sheet. Leave blank any assignments that are outstanding so that you can record the actual grade later. Define what constitutes 'late' homework in advance. If it is due at the beginning of class, is it late if it is turned in at the end of class?
