From experience, I have found that no matter how many times you tell students what is expected with bookwork, many will 'forget' or not complete all aspects of expectations. To combat this, I have created a bookwork expectations list to be handed out each year/semester and glued into books so students have this in information in a concrete form. Then, I also have added a periodical self-checklist and marking sheet designed to be glued in every 10 pages or so. Students then complete the self checklist and hand in their book for marking. A teacher marking schedule is also included.
