Shelly, Yes, students think they are good writers and that it is their opinion that matters. They have to understand in the real world their opinion only counts if it is cited with facts. This happens in every classroom! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Darcy, That is a great point. Do you have a strategy to re-engage the learner that is behind? I have used a contract to set them back on pace. It holds them to expectations. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

roger, You make a great point. In f2f we often review the assignment and highlight portions. In online, many times we just point them to the assignments tab and let them go. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
