Part of teaching is helping students succeed in class. The following resources can help you help your students succeed in your class or program.
How I Earned an "A" Assignment
Self-regulation is an important life skill. This assignment (attached at the bottom of this article) is meant to be given at the beginning of a program or course. It will guide students to think about six dimensions of self-regulation they can control to help them succeed: Goal Setting, Environment Structuring, Task Strategies, Time Management, Help Seeking, and Self-Evaluation. You may download the document and put it into your Canvas course as an assignment.
If you like, you can follow up with students periodically about how they are using the self regulation dimensions that they mentioned in the assignment. Let them rate themselves on how well they are doing so you can get a better idea of how they are progressing and if they are sticking to some of the goals and strategies they mentioned.
