Should Instructors Provide Students with Complete Notes?
Course management software programs make it especially easy for instructors to provide students with a set of complete lecture notes. It seems that more instructors are doing this, as witnessed in the regularity with which students ask that the instructor’s notes be posted. But is giving students a complete set of notes a good idea?

Take The Poll!
Last month's question was "Do you think there is a correlation between interacting with and advising students and the percentage of students who fail to graduate within a reasonable time frame?" It appears that this is a topic that needs further discussion, as the overwhelming majority (96%) said they see at least some correlation between advising and graduation rates.
