>Not checking with your instructors or classmates to clear up points of confusion. Having spend much of yesterday grading, this one rings true.

Students, if you are confused: 1. read the directions 2. look on the syllabus (I get way too many emails with questions that are answered in the directions or the syllabus) and then 3. ask the instructor
