Thank you all very much! I read through the suggestions and worked with our Student Success Coordinator to make a rubric not just for my online classes but also our brick-and-mortar students! In addition, Pinnacle Career Institute-Lawrence started a Friday tutoring session that is open to all students (online & B/M) that includes free tutoring help in Sentence Structure, Writing, Grammar usage, and basic Student Success strategies along with tutoring in our medical-specific courses! So far, turnout has been great and I've even had a few of my online students show up for help! I enjoyed your ideas and put them to good use! I'm sure that I will still have those student that don't want to put the effort in, but hopefully they will be fewer now. I'm going to 'raise the bar' of expectation for writing and make sure that we are all working from the same source (rubric). Thanks again! Wendy
