Hi Chris:
You are really putting in the time needed for helping your students succeed.
I think whenever students receive personal contact, assistance, help, or have their questions answered, it reinforces the relationship between the instructor and student.
Increasingly, the expectations for both faculty and student are expanding, so much so, it could possibly be more than students can remember at all times or in a given situation. Therefore, your "mentorship" or mere accessibility can be so effective in strengthening the successfulness of desired learning outcomes.
Too many instructors avoid the time it takes to individualize thier time with students.… >>>
