To stay organized, I use an Excel
spreadsheet and create worksheets for
each week of class. Each Monday I
move the students across to the next
worksheet that aligns with their current
week, and I add new students to the
'Week 1' worksheet. There are action
items posted in several of the week's
worksheets. When I transfer the
students to their current week
worksheet each Monday, I implement
the specified action items for that week.
Here is an example of some action
items:
Another way to stay organized, and
save time, is to have email templates set
up in each course. If I have five
students in week one of PSY7101, and I
have an action item to send them,
instead of creating a new email each
time, I just find the template I have
already created for week one and send
it to the student.
I believe this approach of anticipating
issues ahead of time is beneficial both
for keeping students on track, and in
helping faculty stay organized. These
reminders also help to cut down on the
instances when we need to ask for
assignments to be resubmitted. Finally,
I think that when students regularly
receive communication from faculty, it
helps to build the relationship, establish
trust, and encourage students to ask
questions.
