Catching up on my correspondance

I am concerned about the upcoming coursework deadline.

I have been to the coursework submission desk and there are no more submissions. This is not really a problem since there is over a week until the deadline, but a couple of students had told me they would submit early to avoid conflict with other deadlines.

On the VLP, 3 students have not yet downloaded the coursework. It is possible they have got a copy from someone else on the course, or that they are no longer taking the module and yet are still in the system. It is also possible they have simply not looked at the coursework yet.

I emailed all students to remind them of the coursework deadline. I emailed the 3 (BCC so they don't know who's who) and said they haven't downloaded a copy. I asked them to email me and let me know if they have seen a copy or are not for some reason or download it if not.

I also took the opportunity to email the student who is not attending deliberately and ask how it is going. They have downloaded the coursework so that is a good sign.
