Assignment: Seven Principles of Good Practice
Each of the seven principles are equally important to replicate in the online classroom, if one is to create a class that is engaging, interesting, and rewarding academically to students.

The student who may be a good writer, but not so good at test taking, or vice versa, the assignments will need to be developed with them in mind. I believe in encouraging different styles of teaching to meet the needs of my students, which is why I mix up the assignments I give to my class. I feel this gives every student a fair and even chance at learning and academic success. I would try to replicate this principle in the same manner online as I approach it in the
