  • No later than the first days of class, tell students what you expect of them.  Students come to your course with different expectations based in part of their different prior experiences with other courses and teachers.  Avoid problems by managing expectations right from the start. 

    This section includes sample documents which you may adapt for your own course.

    1. Online Course Guidelines: This document is taken from Building Online Learning Communities by Rena Palloff and Keith Pratt, Wiley & Sons, 2007.
