I realized that additional to giving students the syllabus and talking about it, it has helped me tramendously to write an agenda on the board on things that will be done/talked about today. It has helped me stay in order.

I was wondering if someone could share an experience when they did not write the agenda but were still able to follow an order. DOes it work better for you to follow the syllabus instead? Or to write it down in your own paper?
