Cheryl, I think that is crucial in so many courses. I do keep my communications through a computer; I don't use the phone except for rare occasions. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Erin, Interesting technique! I do some of that myself. I do have the five and your out rule; when students become so dependent on my proofing that they don't proofread on their own; I quit grading at 5 mistakes and give them a zero. They have 24 hours to fix it! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
