How can I better instill responsibility in the classroom and prevent this issue from reoccurring? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The most important thing to do is record who did and did not turn in their assignments. A way to motivate students is to explain the significance of turning in their homework and then have an open conversation with the class. Encourage students to voice any comments or concerns. If students continue to choose not to turn their assignments in, you can use a portion of Friday's class time for students to work independently on homework. The students will have time to work on the problems, ask any questions they have, and sometimes even finish their work.
