From the "Meeting the Class for the First Time" module, I learned methods that can be applied for conducting a successful 1st day of class. I learned that it is important to take into consideration the 1st day from the student's perspective - that they might be nervous about meeting classmates, meeting the instructor, and about the class material also. As an instructor, we should address those concerns by incorporating some ice-breakers so that we can all get to know one another, and by going over the syllabus and class expectations.
