Mentor and Monitor

on the first day of class I meet and greet I ask students what they expect out of the class I ask them to tell me something about themselves I take notes and then I make reference to what they talked aboutor their expectations usually this makes them tell me something else I keep a note pad close and when the student leaves or when I can I jot down our conversation and that keeps me with fresh information that I can interject if I find a student losing interest. I make sure that the student knows that I am trust worthy and not going to let out anything he or she shares privatly with in reason of course

I agree as well...on the first day I will often ask them why they chose this field and where they would like to see themselves in the future..I also let them know that being in my class is a stepping stone to achieving these goals.

Good plan, Cecil.

It is also important to conduct a lesson related to the course objectives that first day. This sets the expectation for the rest of the quarter.
