OfflineAs you progress through your course, it can be difficult to gauge whether or not students are still "with you".

Evaluate your progress as it relates to each of the following factors. In addition, comment briefly to indicate the quality and/or quantity of your evaluation. Example for attendance: "Good, I have only missed one class period and I have never been tardy."
