Late starts

If a student dose not make It to class on the first day as an Instructor you must bring that student up to speed ASAP if you can ask them to stay after class you can make up the first day notes and get them going if you do not you can lose that student very quick .

Those who miss the first day require a little extra attention certainly, but it's the students who enroll at the very end of the add/drop timeframe that are a real concern to me. They often have missed so much information that they struggle throughout the rest of the course. It's a fine line between meeting Admissions budgets and ensuring the academic success of students.

Kathleen,

Agreed. And many of these students are those who end up leaving. That is one reason why a proactive late orientation of sorts can be very helpful.
