Tomi, You make a great point. I have a questions discussion board that students MUST use when they have a question. If students answer the question correctly and quickly, they get points. It is participation. This also keeps my emails down. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Tomi, You make a great point. I thought I was repeating too much and stopped once in my teaching. Students then blamed me for not keeping them on track. I do create a calendar and refer them to the calendar repeatedly. I also send text but those are only for really important messages. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Lori, You have great strategies for a five week course. You could lower your expectations but you don't and that is impressive. Many times you can address the whole for reminders of the sins of the few but I don't like to do that because it makes me feel like I am punishing everyone. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Chander, What a great strategy. YOu do have to make sure they know the expectations and know you intend and do hold them to the expectations. The fact that you understand and address their uniqueness with a note at the end of the week is so smart. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
