Some students enroll in an online course expecting it to be much easier than a regular course. Others imagine that the course will be something like independent study. Still others think the instructor should be available for twenty-four real-time hours a day. Your syllabus as well as your introductory comments can help manage such expectations, correct false impressions, and set the stage for the smooth unfolding of your course. ]]> 2019-06-26 13:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shaney14/y3tkdhvolutm/wish/369275992 shaney14 https://padlet.com/shaney14/y3tkdhvolutm/wish/369276195 Over the years as I read student evaluations after the course I learn that many people had different expectations and/or understandings. No matter how many times, and in different ways, I think I have clearly communicated expectations in writing and verbally, somehow some people have a different understanding!]]> 2019-06-26 13:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/shaney14/y3tkdhvolutm/wish/369276195 shaney14 https://padlet.com/shaney14/y3tkdhvolutm/wish/369276337 I now believe that I can not communicate enough and even for "fun" (no points) "quiz the students on the expectations! I also am working on minimizing my syllabus - too much non critical information that students don't even read.]]> 2019-06-26 13:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/shaney14/y3tkdhvolutm/wish/369276337
