If I were to teach this class

If I were to teach this class, I would do about the same things as you. I wouldn't want to give out that many tests because some kids aren't good at taking tests. I wouldn't give out homework every night of the week but maybe two or three. I'd give my students time to get their homework done in class, and hold a lot of discussions about what we're learning. I would focus on the main stuff and leave out discussing details that aren't that important or off topic. I would include lots of fun projects to get the kids comfortable with other kids in the class. Every Friday we would watch a video about what we're learning. They could take notes on it and have a short quiz. I'd try to make the class as fun as possible. I wouldn't want my students to think of my class as a drag. I'd want to make it one class they'd remember and look forward to going to.
