retention
making sure that students understand, that the instructor is there to help, and not fail them is key
Tamara ,
Good point about pulling them in to contribute their part. They are not "entitled" to pass the course the need to put forth the effort to "earn" a grade and move forward in their career development. This is an important message that students need to be given and understand.

often times I state to the students I am not setting them up for failure. Their response is they must do their part to succeed.
Jessica,
Instructor accessibility is an important part of student support. You are providing such by letting students know you care about them and their success.
