Thank you to the many professors who responded with constructive feedback. I have already started discussions with our HS student (sophomore) about what areas some professors are seeing as hindering students’ college work (being late, handing in assignments late, overly casual communications with professors and TAs, weak writing, and not seeking help early in school semesters).

Even though many of us nag our children about these basic requirements of good manners anyway, it has more credibility when we can tell our DC that professors say punctuality and time management are important to college success.

Thank you to the students or whoever it was pointing out that there is a lot of modern technology to help with note taking and study. We will look into college technology aids.

Professors and TAs - Thank you very much for sharing your experiences. I apologize for any unkind and unhelpful comments made. Please know that I and many others highly value your work with our adult children.

A special thanks to the professors who go out of their ways to treat their students as whole people with feelings, gifts and challenges that go beyond stats, grades, and rankings. 
 
Wishing you all the very best.[/quote]
