#College101: Communication is critical in online classes, too

I teach an unlikely course online: public speaking. Because it’s a core class, tons of students flock to it, yet only the chatty survive (and I’m not just talking about students who give great speeches). If communication between students and professors is important in a face-to-face class, it’s downright critical in an online class. Without in-person, in-class nudges from profs, online students can quickly fall behind; some remain terminally behind. The key to making online classes work? Continued conversations with your prof!
