Please note: I'm bringing this thead over unedited from Twitter for those who aren't on that tool. The abbreviations etc are for the word count of Twitter. (You might also want to read a prior blog, that has had over 72K downloads that offers one basic bit of advice: "Be human first, prof second." "The Single Most Essential Requirement Designing Fall Online Courses," )
(NB: Everyone's anonymous in this thread: they can out themselves! Profs all are "they" pronoun in this thread; "Friend" is because I know all of these people first hand, some only through social media.)

More people tell us how they saved the term
"I canceled the traditional final project. Class won’t meet the last week,
but instead students have the opportunity to complete any missing work
from the semester revise any assignment for a higher grade. And because
we won’t have zoom meetings, I’ll actually have time to give feedback on
their missing work & revisions. It’s the least stressed my students
& I have felt all semester!"
