I fully agree because I text, email and call. However some students do not respond no matter how you reach out to them. Now I know they will avoid calls or send me directly to email when they are avoiding me. But still I try to communicate every 2-3 days. I want my students to pass but I cannot help them if they don't respond. Further, unlike a traditional course they cannot resubmit assignments if it is way passed the deadline. I understand we are dealing with adults and things happen which is why I think they should be granted some kind of grace period or as instructors we can drop the lowest grade.
