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.

You always set your students up for success and I am glad your intentions were well put across and accepted
