Overview
Think of this kudo as reinforcing specific behaviors, not just saying "good job." The strongest kudos answer the question "What am I doing that I should keep doing?"
Use the examples below as a starting point when raising a Keep up the Good Work kudo in MU Connect. The templates are organized into three different tones, but they're meant to be used as a guide. Copy and paste the example as written, combine elements from multiple examples, and add course-specific details to recognize the student's accomplishment. Even a brief personalized note can make your message more meaningful.
NOTE: This Kudo can be raised anytime using the My Students or Zoom In tabs in MU Connect or during Progress Survey availability (Weeks 4,5, 8, and 9, or Weeks 12 and 13 for 8WK2 and Journalism courses).
