Check-ins are an opportunity to let students know what they need to do to earn as many credits as possible, including a realistic schedule for completing the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Program\/course books on one-day reserve at Library: The\nLibrary and the Greener Bookstore<\/strong> continue to place all required books on\none-day reserve. Please let students know<\/strong> that these books are available\nfor them; Circulation will gladly answer questions about how it works. Thanks\nto all of you who submitted book orders in time to facilitate this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Making student work public. <\/strong>If your students are compiling and posting their work on websites, WordPress sites or other public spaces, we one encourage you to have conversations with them about how much personal information is posted, what the lifespan of the site might be, and who has permission to change it\u2014potentially years down the line. This may not seem to be a pressing issue for students in the moment, but it can present unique challenges in the future. Please discuss carefully with them.
