Hi Pam, From your comments it sounds like you are doing a great job of keeping your students informed of expectations, deadlines, and requirements. As human beings we seem to always need reminders of what we need to be doing and how we can hit deadlines. One suggestion I would make is you develop a number of creative reminders that can be shared with the students. I have used floating Power Point reminders that are on the screen before class and they “float” or scroll for 5 minutes before class starts. Another successful technique is to use cartoons that remind the students of what they need to be doing or what is upcoming. I know we are dealing with adults, but adults like to have fun just as much as children, plus it is a technique that is an attention getter. The key is to keep reminding the students of expectations in such a way that they don't know they are being reminded. Ironic isn't it we want to be reminded, but not nagged about what we are suppose to do. This is the fine line instructors must tread as they work with their students. Gary
