Here is an example of low touch high impact messaging I do. I tend to do this in the last week of the course:

First name of student <= this is important=>

I haven't made it through all of the grading for Module 7 work yet but I wanted to reach out and let you know that your lab participation seems adequate to be allowed to pass. It looks like your grade is strong. I will be looking at your Module 6 quiz again too - per your comment on the discussion board about the E mismatch. < = something personal is important so they don't think this is an entire form letter = >

I know that has been a semester full of bumps and twists in the path to get here. We are almost through with the course. Just one more push and this will be over. Academic fatigue is real. I hope you are able to take a little time to recharge before you undertake your next adventure.

I'll be working on grades all week. It is likely you'll see a little ebbing and flowing in the your grade. Don't panic. My son was basically watching his one course grade change every 20 minutes and having a mini-heart attack every time. Save yourself the stress, and try to stay off the gradebook until Saturday when I am able to send the "all done" email.

Reach out if you have questions!
