Shauna, Unfortunately, there is no good way to know if those who posted to the forums will go back in and respond to your posts. The best thing you can do is to look for the dates of the posts and reply to the most recent ones.

Great post, Shauna! If you can do for your students what your English Prof did for you, you will really make a difference for your student. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you for this post, Leslie. I smile every time someone writes that a parent was one of their primary mentors becasue my dad was absolutely the best mentor in my life. What were some of the tings your dad taught you that were so valuable?

Thanks, Jonathon. There is some science that indicates that learning is imprinted more strongly when it is linked to an emotion. Laughter is one of the positive emotions that can put students in a better position to learn. Keep using appropriate humor in your classes. It makes a difference.

Time-Wasters

Ken, I am not sutre what you described should be considered a "time waster." Time with students is very important and you should keep doing what your doing. You may want to look for ways to be a little more efficient with them, but guard against giving the impression you are in a hurry. Students probably come to you because you take time to instruct them.
