The professor is breaking down the larger task (completing a term paper) into smaller, more manageable tasks (submitting a topic statement, a list of references, a draft of the introduction, and finally the completed paper). This approach of forming subgoals helps students tackle the assignment step by step, making the overall process less daunting and more structured.
