Orientation

Public

Discussion:

As a professor I was never involved in the new student orientations, but after reading this section of the course I realize that it may have been helpful. Maybe having the students do one of my exciting classroom activities may have quelled some of their fears that college would be boring or too difficult. Many of my colleagues could have offered lesson plans that showed the new students a glimpse of what college classes would be like and that regardless of their previous educational background or learning style they can be successful by first just showing up!
