Hi Thomas: Great plan. I can only see it fail when a student chooses (by whatever circumstances) to not do the work. As prepared as the teacher may be, some students waste time, come unprepared, don't understand expectations, or are distracted by illness, other issues, or sometimes, they're just bored. Here is where we can ttempt to reengage them, assisting with bring them up to speed. We can help, but they have to want that help, and follow through. It's a cliche, but they have to accept ownership for their participation and completion of graded assignments. Regards, Barry
