Four Down, Two to Go

Two of my four classes in the first Summer semester were on-campus. In those two classes I used 100% OER; the students, as a class, voted on their assignments and I accepted late submissions with a one grade penalty. For the first time I had 100% completion, 100% succession (passing) in both classes. The other part of the equation was my attitude. I became more laid back and less of the task master.

    According to Sir Alex Ferguson, " It is difficult to change a winning team and I don't think you should".Since students did very well under the circumstances, then I would recommend to stick to the positive changes while retouching the other part of the equation.

    That is amazing Dr Ross-Nazzal! It is always great to see students succeed and especially when you can take credit for it too. I like the way you organize your classes. I know that almost all teachers have the students’ best interests at heart, yet somehow they are always misconstrued because either the course is difficult or the teacher is a hard task master. You always set your students up for success and I am glad your intentions were well put across and accepted
