What are some great openers that you have used that were effective for meeting your class for the first time? It was interesting, my son just started college and he said his instructors did not use anything creative other than a basic back ground.

How long on average does it take to create a presentation for each hour of lecture? How long do you give your students in class to review a case study before presenting it? I plan to break my lecture time up to allow my students to refocus as I remember how hard it was to focus on long lectures without media, case studies, student lead learning etc.

As a brand new instructor it is amazing how supportive the faculty is as a resource. Just as I have done research on what assists in helping faculty with a faculty to student ratio of one to twelve during my master's practicum during clinical rotations. There are many resources out there, and one great idea I can share with you all is related to concept based learning. It assists the student to bridge the gap between theory and clinical.
