Many student emails sent to instructors begin and end of a negative note. "You're teaching method is too difficult and I'm failing."

Adding self-disclosure statements can be helpful here and also addressing a student's anxiety level before offering solutions.

I have found a mix of students' knowledge of technology.  Many are very savvy about technology and what it can do, while others are afraid of it.  Many "older" students have not kept up with the newer trends.  As an instructor, I try to use technology that is user-friendly to all students, not just some.
