These provided for increased student peer interactions inside andoutside of class. Student-faculty connections were developed through opportunities to participatein socialization and wellness events. These were informal remote gatherings that were a mix ofsubstantive and social events to attract a varied range of interests. Students were polled at thebeginning of the semester regarding the types of events that would be offered, and it was madeclear that participation was voluntary and would not impact grades in any way. The remoteevents were hosted roughly every other week and included gaming nights, a book club

more extracurricular activities. Eventhough instructors attempt to spread their assignments and particularly exams and projectsthroughout the semester, students consistently report a non-uniform distribution of workthroughout the semester. If a course is not itself at a topic boundary, as indicated by an exam ormajor project or paper, a slight delay in coursework for that course is probably not detrimental.However, in some cases the student can see significant benefits to delaying routine reporting orproblem sets by as little as one class period. Consistently giving exceptions to deadlines whenasked, however, is easily abused and can even be viewed as capricious since it requires thestudents to attempt to justify their rationale for requesting
