Background from Instructor: I send a weekly email reminder to students in my large online class. I feel it is a way to help students keep on track and to let them know I am there. The email is always labeled, “Reminder for the upcoming week.” I received this email from a student.
Email from Student: Please remove me from your reminder list. These emails are more of a nuisance than a helpful aid. I don’t need my professor writing to me.
I replied to the student, telling her she is free to delete or ignore my weekly email reminders.
