AFTER TEACHING ON-LINE for four years, I have come to expect that my phone will ring several times on Sunday night around 11:30 p.m., just half an hour before weekly assignments and exams are due. Occasionally, I’ll receive a call mid-week from a student who has disappeared from the course for several weeks and suddenly realizes that s/he is failing, but mid-week calls are few and far between. One afternoon, I received the following mysterious voicemail message:

“Hello Professor Glover, this is Dawn from your Criminology I class. Will you please give me a call at your convenience sometime during the next week.”
