I appreciated the detailed list of instructioal components that need to be considered when preparing to teach. I also liked the resource for developing a syllabus. There are so many components to a good and thorough syllabus that it will be nice to have a list of components to compare my syllabi to to ensure that I have covered all necessary topics. The tips about arriving early, prepared and ready to greet your class, I believe really sets the tone and can provide the students with a good first impression. I plan to incorporate the use of a checklist and bringing a notepad to class so I can make sure I complete all that needs to be done in class that day and can take notes to remember what needs to be addressed after class.
