Hi Diana!
I like this approach and have used it in a similar manner. In the first couple of weeks of a new start, I give students a graphic format of what they will learn during the semester and they are to fill it in as they move through the course. We have checkpoints to ensure that students are on track and at the end of the course they have filled in the appropriate info. It becomes a perfect study tool as well.
Keep up the good work!
