I was wondering if anyone has ever felt like they are communicating too much with a student. For example, besides grading papers or answering discussions at our school we are responsible for our student retention. If I have a student who is failing or not participating we are encouraged to contact them often. I usually either call or email every other day to see if I can get student to participate. We have accrediting guidelines that a student must submit work at least every week, or sooner if possible. We, as instructors, are calling students as well as our student services department. I am always worried that we are chasing our students away. Any thoughts would be helpful!
