Don’t you get in trouble for what could be seen as refusing to teach? I know you are creating the teaching content, but I can’t see managers/appraisers being comfortable with high drop out rates. And what is the student feedback like?

edit: ah sorry I see you said the drop out rate itself doesn’t change, fair enough.

The passing rate has improved a bit but dropout rates are essentially unchanged. What has mostly changed is that the students can’t fake the fact they didn’t do the work. My dean has been supportive. I don’t do student opinion surveys so I don’t have information with regard to that.
