Team Contract correctly, they should self-monitor and adjust, but
it’s always a good idea for the teacher to monitor and review to
make sure they are improving daily. You want them to do the
work, not you. They need to apply everything they should have
learned to date. Just monitor their work and do not automatically
“bail them out” with what you feel are the correct or best
answers. They should be done or almost done and ready to give
the final presentations.
