This is my first faculty position, yet I remember being a student within the last two years. My courses were online, and the ones I am teaching are now virtual with very little in-seat classtime due to Covid-19. The virtual classroom is quite different, yet all the information is provided for the student up front.
I know that I will be asking them "Who benefits from your progression through this program?" I want them to think about it, and definitely want to do the best they can for the right reason.
It's also important to point out to the college student that it is definitely different than high school. They are adults and should be acting as adults. I'm sure I will need to help them grasp some of the expectations of adults.
