This is great information! I’m excited to explore the “Items to investigate” with y’all.

I also like the 2nd No Show date, as I have two students this term, who “showed up” during week #1 but have gone dark since, I have sent out two CPN notices but not sure what else I can do — until the end of the term.
I appreciate you bringing this topic to light and sharing the results.

Excellent work and very interesting!
I actually don’t like to impose a deadline on Friday that first week because many of my students mainly do their coursework on the weekends – I know many of them work during the week. I like to honor that – sometimes that’s why they’re taking online courses.. I’d actually like the no-show deadline to be Sunday night – just a thought.

Thank you for sending the survey results. I would really like to see the NS deadline extended to Monday of Week 2. That would allow me to see if the student has completed their Assignment 1 and Discussion 1 posts.

The idea of changing the deadline to the first day of Week 2 would be helpful for online classes since it seems many students use the weekend to do their homework. I’ve had students complete the Academic Integrity requirement and the Introduction discussion, but then disappear. A later deadline to drop non-active students would also be appropriate.

Thank you for addressing this issue, as I’m sure many of us have some questions. I often wonder what to do with the students who may check in – or show up – during the first week of the term, but later on stop participating or coming to class. I like the idea of a second NS date at a later time.

These results were nice to read. I now know how I stand in relation to other faculty.
Thank you, Andy!

Thanks for sending out the results! It’s really interesting to see what other other instructors do in their classes. I’m clearly in the minority with a “be here on Monday or get dropped” policy, and that is interesting for me to know.

We should have more polls on other topics. :)
