Cynthia, what do you mean by a no remediation policy?

Sebastian, what percentage of your students actually take the initiative to contact you after an absence? Is this standard procedure at your school and thus, part of the culture? It certainly isn't "natural" for the student to take this responsibility? How much time does it take to meet with all your students at the 2 week point? Is this done during class time or by appointment? Seems like a very time consuming process.

Tracy, does every instructor do this for every absence? Sounds like a lot of work. What happens when you don't reach the student?

How are the student assessments done, Roshally? Are you talking about surveys or some other mechanism? What is the unit of measure for satisfaction?

Interesting comment, Dahlia - Many find it very helpful. Seems to suggest that not everyone is committed to the practice. What are some of the ways that the surveys have been helpful?

Shula, what do you mean by "speak to each student"? Is this virtually or do you schedule phone time? How successful are you at making these connections?

Carlos, how often do you have these discussions? Do you use class time or do you arrange to meet another time? How responsive are your students?

Cynthia, have you shared your concern with your department head or the Director of Education? In order for the surveys to be credible with the students, they have to see that their input if valued.

Sandy, what do you mean by warm connections? What incentives are you using to get the faculty engaged?
