With all of the COVID distractions it is very important to start each zoom with what we are doing today, what we did yesterday and when assignments are due.
I provide my studetns with a grade tracker form for what assignments are due and when for the term. How to contact me and what I expect of them.
Even though this information is provided I still have some students that will forget about assignments and deadlines.
I will start to engage with the "why" each time. I will also send a welcome email not only to the new starts but the returning students as well.
