Hi Robert, Yes, this is generally true. We need to recognize that information alone sometimes is not enough, and we have to nudge, encourage, or even require mandatory remediation (if this is allowed) in order for the student reach the level of needed improvement. If you think about it, if these students were very disciplined in the first place, they wouldn't have fallen too far behind to start with. So giving advice and performance status is a good start, but sometimes we need to be more agressive in assuring they follow up. Barry Westling
