Research Questions were due on Monday, and of course, some students didn't turn them in on time. One student shared that she got up on Monday morning and was checking her email for a message from a friend. She found this strange email and opened it, and there was her reminder.
She had actually forgotten to write up her research question. So she quickly sat down and typed up her research question and happily turned it in. So, in at least one case, the email reminder worked exactly as it was supposed to. YaHoo!

Yahoo is right! It's fun to see the students responding to these things. -Janet
Hi John,
I'm curious about a number of things re: your research project. thing #1, how do students without email get timely reminders? do you still have to give them reminders in class as to which part of the project is due, and when? do they write this in their planner?
Secondly, what percentage of your students are 'have nots'? ie. don't have the internet available at home?
Question number three: What else are you doing in class for this project to take so long? Are you finding you need to streamline the deadlines, or are the students using theri time wisely and still require this much time for their research?
#4: Did you provide them with web sites for beginning their research?
I'm curious, because I am looking at doing a research project with each of my classes, and am curious about your findings through this entire process.
Merry Xmas,
Brad
