Question
How can I set expectations for my students?
Answer
If you consider the items that you have chosen to add to your syllabi over the years, often items are added in order to provide guidance and “guardrails” for your students to help them stay on the right path to success in your class. There is a high likelihood that your guidance was borne from experience—you realized that guidance was needed because a student in the past went “off-roading” and adding that guardrail helps students avoid past students’ mistakes!
When the transition is made to more virtual forms of instruction, whether it is only partially online or temporarily online, it is important to put some practices and “guardrails” in place to help students know what is expected of them in that environment. Students can be confused in an online learning environment, so letting them know what is expected of them is important.
