 Weekly
Email Progress
Communication is so very important in the
online environment. As such, your responsiveness to student emails
is considered one of the most highly regarded faculty traits. I’m
glad to see that you make email communication a priority. As you
know, weekly email communication, conveying instructional aspects of the
course while also addressing student questions and concerns, is extremely
beneficial in guiding students through the online venture.
Thank you for your weekly messages and prompt responsiveness!
Discussion
Boards
I’m happy to see that you participate
actively in the discussion board on a regular basis. Weekly
participation not only encourages continued interaction between students,
but promotes higher order thought, open ended debate, and highlights key
topics & information related to the learning objectives. It also
prevents off-topic discussions that can derail the objectives of the
discussion board. You do a great job engaging your students in weekly
discussions.
Grading
Grading is a valuable tool in keeping the
student aware of their progress in the course. I found you to be
prompt in scoring assignments and in posting them to the grade book.
I can't tell you how much students appreciate your timeliness with
grading! Additionally, your thorough feedback on assignments is very
valuable to the learning process, thank you for devoting time to this
aspect of grading.
Mid-term
Survey Results
Mid-term Survey results are located within
your class. To locate the results, go to the Learning Plan that
houses the Mid-point Survey (usually week 5 or 6). Clicking on the Survey
link in the Table of Contents will bring up your results for just that
section. If you have multiple sections, this mechanism breaks it
down so that you see each section separately. I hope you find value
in the independent section feedback rather than the average of your
sections.
