Idea #3: Creating a feeling of fairness

 “Is there anyone you know who likes to be forced to do things? None of us does, not even when it is in our own best interest. When people make us do things … something within the human psyche seems to push us to get power and control” (Teaching with Love and Logic, pg. 140).  “most reasonable people don’t have to get their way in a discussion. They just need to be heard, and to know that their input was considered and responded to” (The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, pg. 95).

Idea #4: Being Already Ready Already

 Make resources available as soon as possible, preferably by the first day

  • f the semester.

1. Have links ready to go even if you have to use a place holder for a little while 2. Let students access course projects and assignments early

 Make sure you have a quick method for updating information, when necessary:

1. Email or Blackboard announcements 2. Updates to files

1. They feel more comfortable 2. They can focus on the content 3. They whine less

 Since we are already organized, why not show our students that
