Many parents have experimented with what works best for their student, whether it's agreeing to spend a certain amount of time daily, complete an agreed-upon number of lessons per day in given subjects, or finish what is on a daily checklist. This planning will require looking over the class to see how many lessons are within the course and where to include additional homeschool assignments. Some families find making a homeschool assignment daily checklist useful. When a student is enrolled in a course and a targeted end date is created, Study.com will recommend a certain cadence of lessons each week to keep the student on track with achieving completion of the course by the selected date. These goals can be updated at any time and the student's progress is automatically reported to parents with a family plan.
