Wyshondia, I like how you included elements in your expectations that might be considered "instructor" expectations. I believe we need to clearly articulate the expectations for both the students and the instructors. You are also correct that they are specific to each instructor. I evaluate mine every semester and tweak them as needed for each class. I try to identify the common questions and issues that students had during the semester and include those on the "front end" of the course for later semesters. It makes for a smoother online course experience for everyone. Herbert Brown III
