By reaching out to students' on the first day of class via email,  I request that they contact me  so that I can assist them on creating  a calendar for their daily tasks  and listing a certain number of hours each day to prepare their assignments.  Unfortunately, a lot of students' do not follow-up with me during  the first two weeks of class. Yet, three-five students' will contact me during the fourth week of class to help them create a calendar to complete a five week course.  By students' utilizing their time wisely, they can successfully pass the course.

@VCDavila : One of the reasons why Instructors should engage their students is to reinforce what they learned. In addition, students' improve on their critical thinking skills.
