| Jan 13, 2018 at 21:48 | comment | added | smci | Another standard technique was on the first couple of assignments, to give them some basic tasks (e.g. "Using the library, find the answers to X, Y, Z") which carried no weight, or almost no weight - but don't necessarily tell them that upfront. Or tell them (in the FAQ) that if they're borderline at the end of semester, you may take their responses in assignments into consideration. | |
| Jan 13, 2018 at 21:43 | comment | added | smci | The standard time-honored solution is to write a class FAQ, make that one of the first class handouts, read it in class, reference it in your email SIG, just reference the URL in response to any questions covered by it. Make sure it's clear, concise and covers the questions. Break stuff into sections like "How to Use the Library", "Assignments", "Grading", "Attendance" etc. etc. Ask your students and TAs in your end-of-term assessments how the FAQ can be improved. | |
