Hi DeVaria:
Yep. I guess students are the same everywhere...they'll try to find a loophole in their accountability if we're not careful.
Yes, it's important to not only share where they're, but how to improve. I share suggestions, advice, and offer help and assistance, if the student want it and takes advantage of it. By encouraging and being supportive, I can usually motivate students to try a bit more and usually see better results.
