Heading into the third week, my 'Creative Writing' class has now completed its first assignment and done so on the course online software system eLearn/Moodle. I made it a goal to provide feedback to every student for this first assignment. This way, students have a grade already provided on their work, and they know that I'm watching and evaluating them intently. For a class of twenty students, though, five students did not turn in the first assignment; four of those students haven't bothered even to log in to the course software system. I gave them a negative evaluation, needless to say. Otherwise, I found that the first assignment, one that included an audio lecture that students listened to, was a successful one.
