Everyone likes a cinderella story so tell one. It gives hope.

When you meet a class for the first time you may be a little nervous. I find that if you use your sense of humor it sort of breaks the ice.

Come to class early to set up equipment because sometimes it takes a few minutes for certain programs to load.

When you are a new Instructor,it is easy to want all the students to like you. What I found out is that it is best to be respected.If you want the respect you must give it.If you want the students to be on time you must be on time.What ever it is that you want out of your class, you must look to yourself because the students are definitely looking at you and studying you.
