Personal effort

I so wish the individuals that e-mail for information would put forth some effort in finding the information they are seeking. For the most part, those that want to know about the program I administer, how to access the courses, and ultimately finish the program can find everything in one place. Where? The internet. It really isn't that difficult. Just put forth some effort.

Since they don't put forth much effort, I don't either. I have a form message that I send back to them with a link to the website. I place the ball back in their court so that they can find the answers to their questions. I look at it like this, as educators, we want for our students to seek and find information. Why don't we do the same?
