There have been several confusions as to how online instructors should be evaluated to determine instructional effectiveness. Among the reason is the fact that students are not fully participating on such evaluations. Should institutions make student/instructor evaluation mandatory and as a part of their grade for the course?

Habitual Classroom Absence

For every course, instructors experience frequent excuses from students who habitually fail to follow procedures in submitting assignments at prescribed deadlines. What limit of the excuses would you accept in allowing students to submit missed assignments, despite the prescribed late assignment policies?
