When talking with your students have they commented on the impact "kudos" have on their performance? Everybody wants recognition when they do well, but do you think it is enough to encourage them to overcome their academic obstacles and reach graduation? Finally, do you think "kudos" can be overused? Is there a point where kudos start to sound repetitious and possibly trite? In the military we are taught to praise in public and counsel in private. In this scenario, you indicate that you are able to do this in a like manner, but virtually. Are there other things that you could do through virtual means or through voice?
