In addition, a majority of students who did not use the virtual office hours felt that the communication feature was beneficial.<BR/><BR/>As for the "no laptops" rule, I have not had one complaint from my students. At the beginning, I felt that the student would complain, but they have not. (I am not complaining about the lack of complaints.) :)<BR/><BR/>- Millennial ProfessorJ.

I think it's great that you explain virtual office hours. Also, nice work on getting the image of the textbook.
