Hi Connie,
Well said. It is exciting when we get feedback that tells us we are doing a good job and impacting the learning of our students. Your point about making sure to share affirmation with our students is a good one as well because adult students can lose their way easily as a result of life pressures, work, etc. As you know it is easier for online students to become victim to failure because they are studying alone and at a distance. By keeping them engaged as you are you are helping them not to feel lost in the learning process.
