10 years experience teaching at the middle school, high school, undergrad and graduate level.
I was told by a wise mentor to begin with the end in mind. I make sure every assignment, activity, or lab has relevance to the final assessment. I love rubrics and pre-tests. I used to think this was cheating but it lets students know what I expect. I am using these methods at the graduate level as well. They love it and they are engaged and learning. I'm addicted to Comic Sans.
