First Day of School

The first week is so important for the student.  I do like the fact that faculty should be included in orientation. This would help the students.  I have found giving a quiz on the course syllabi has worked very effectively, since some students do not listen to class assignments and grading and seem to try to buck the system.  It works!!!!

I like the idea to give a test on the syllabi, it will hold them accountable for what they have been given for their course of study. thanks

I agree!  We have not been including our faculty at Orientation, but it is a great opportunity to provide students with another level of familiarity for the first classes.  I also like your suggestion of a quiz.  I think it is another level of engagment with a sense of fun included.  Thanks for your suggestions!

If not a quiz , then maybe some questionairs that would give us some info on the backgrounds of the students. We need to know more about them as individuals to see where problems may arise.
