Lance Eaton for any assistance with teaching or technology.
Karen Casper for administrative issues (registration numbers, HR, etc).
Begin to provide feedback and grades for any work that has been submitted.
Feedback on all assignments should be returned 1 week or sooner.
Think about how you want to give feedback for students. This video (9:13 minutes) has some recommendations.
For the gradebook to provide the clearest picture, 0s have to be entered for work not submitted. We recommend to not put in 0s until at least 1 week after something is due. Additionally, communicate to students that you will be putting in 0s for absent assignments. If you will still take the work, also let them know that you will welcome the work but the 0 is a placeholder until they submit.
