Getting to know the students as individuals and learning about their academic and nonacademic interests is the most appropriate action to create a caring community and a sense of belonging for the freshmen students. This helps Ms. Simone understand her students better, tailor instruction to their individual needs, and make personal connections. Connecting on social media (option A) may blur professional boundaries and could potentially make students uncomfortable. Conducting weekly academic skill contests (option C) may create unnecessary competition among classmates and may not be inclusive of all students' abilities. Getting student feedback (option B) is important but should include feedback on teaching and classroom management practices, not just topics of study.
