WARNING: Participants with teaching experience often make the mistake of relying on their past teaching habits while ignoring their
tutors instructions and advice. This usually creates obstacles, since those past habits may either conflict with what the tutor is trying
to tell them or trying to get them to focus on.
2. Written Assignments
When youre satisfied with your next lesson, get to work on one of your upcoming assignments. These are only graded
pass/fail, and you have a chance to re-submit them, so dont sacrifice lesson planning time in order to make these perfect
on the first try. Re-submission does not impact your grade. Dont lose sleep the night before a TP lesson just to make a first
submission perfect.
1. Read the assignment instructions (on Moodle) carefully. Many assignments fail on the first submission because of
simple omissions.
2. Read the assignment grading rubric (on Moodle). Knowing how your assignment will be marked will help you avoid
any easy mistakes.
3. Research the topic of the assignment (e.g. the receptive skills chapter of a methodology book for assignment 3).
Knowing about the topic before you start writing will help avoid mistakes related to terminology, concept, etc.
4. Read the example assignment (on Moodle) to get a good idea of what a pass-level submission looks like.
5. Write a first draf that contains all the same components as the example assignment (dont use the example as an
outline or include similar tasks, etc. to avoid the risk of plagiarism).
6. Mark your own assignment with the grading rubric and make any necessary changes.
7. Give your assignment to a peer and ask them to mark it with the rubric. Getting fresh eyes to look over your work
often helps avoid many common reasons for resubmission (e.g. language errors).
8. Proofread carefully before you submit and upload your assignment on time.
