WHEN MEETING THE CLASS FOR THE FIRST TIME I FIND IT FUN TO GO AROUND THE CLASSROM ALLOW EACH STUDENT TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES,SAY WHERE THEY ARE FROM AND ASK WHT THEY CHOSE THIS CAREER.

Hi all,Have found that even when told to do so in advance that most students will not do reading assignments.That is why I will begin reading the material aloud myself first for a few paragraphs than have the students pick up and read aloud at least one paragraph each until the entire chapter is read aloud in class so no one student can say "We did not cover that in class."Seems to keep them involved even if they would rather not be.

I find it fun and helpful when lecturing on a subject that is completely new to a class to try and relate the new subject matter through an analogy that the students already understand.
