Late Students

The last thing mentioned in this section is "Dealing with Chronically Late Students". When I teach the early morning classes (when tardiness is rampant) I inform my students that each day during the first 5 minutes of class there will be a question of the day. They have to be in class to earn the point (usually 1 per day). I ask easy questions (When is the mid-term?)and then allow them to use their book, notes, syllabus or ask a fellow classmate. Overall the exercise has worked (for those students who are motivated by the system). In addition, I have a no late work policy and require assignments to be turned in during the first five minutes of class.
