Jamey, Yes, when there is accurate information shared with students regarding their performance, there is a greater opportunity for the instructor to convey suggestions, assist students, and demonstarte that we care about their success. I think students appreciate grade and course performance information be it good or bad because they will have time to make any needed changes in their study or class participation. The worst thing is to come to the end of a term and experience a descrepancy between how the student thought they were doing and the reality of their actual grades. Barry Westling
