Summary: This handout explains what instructors should do to help their students and other support people, such as lab assistants, writing mentors, or presentations coaches, ensure that students can carry out important tasks in a course. At the end of this document are three sample assignments. The first shows a poorly written assignment followed by suggested revisions. The second gives a well written example of a Take-home Final Exam in Biosciences. The third gives clear directions for an oral presentation.
