Communicating with my instructor

Below are some tips for communicating with your instructor.

  • Do not ask direct questions of your instructor in Discussion forums unless they are expressly set up for instructor questions. Your instructor may not see your question, leaving you hanging.
  • Use your Canvas inbox to email your instructor. Write emails using correct grammar. Do not treat it like a text message to your friends.
  • Remember, your instructor is not online 24/7. It is reasonable to expect a response in 24 to 48 hours, depending on the day of the week. Yes, you can access your Canvas content at any point. However, your instructor most likely will not be online at midnight or on weekends and holidays.
  • Check your assignments for comments your instructor may have left. In some cases, the comments will be verbal, and to hear them, you will need an audio device.
