Planning Your First Day of Class

The first day of class sets the tone for the rest of the term, establishes expectations, creates a learning atmosphere, and gives students a taste of the instructor's teaching style. It also allows instructors to get a sense of the students and their prior knowledge about the subject. In this workshop, we will explore effective ways to begin a course with an emphasis on promoting classroom discussion and engaging student curiosity. We will also examine proven guidelines for preparing an effective course outline.
