Finally, a word of warning: TOR can often be too long, too prescriptive or too unfocused. 

Keep processes light, enjoyable and most of all useful to engendering learning and understanding changes that have occurred as a result of the activity. 

Ensure the TOR are well presented, free of typological errors, and use language which makes it clear what is expected (eg use ‘will’ rather than ‘should’). [Reference: NZAID Style Guide]
