Expect more and you will get it. High expectations are important for everyone — for the poorly prepared, for those unwilling to exert themselves, and for the bright and well motivated. Expecting students to perform well becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Clearly establish students performance criteria

• Link to the course syllabus (Required course syllabus format: http://www2.semo.edu/provost/cghtm/cg_9_1.htm)

• Duplicate the information found in the syllabus on the course homepage

  • Student learning objectives

  • Student expectations

  • Ways students can achieve success in the class

  • Grading scale

• Make sure students understand YOUR requirements for the class

• Design online quizzes and tests that are based on integration and application

• Provide examples of expected quality of work

• Clearly define make-up work and testing policies

Make a commitment to give feedback promptly

• Respond to e-mail or OIS Forum responses or graded assignments promptly
• Take time to critique the student’s demonstration of their knowledge
• Provide suggestions and direction that facilitates the student’s ability to expand their understanding and performance
