The First Impression

Shanika, Good points. I think it is a good idea to try to make a new "first impression" at the beginning of each class meeting by facilitating something "cool" that peaks student interest and gets them ready to learn. Jeffrey Schillinger

Attention Equals Retention

Terri, Sometimes colleges lose students during breaks. One good practice is I have seen is to have the next term faculty members send a note or call students during finals week or break week. This is an effective extension of what you described as part of a "no show" program for new starts. Jeffrey Schillinger
