I find that students appreciate positive feedback before critical feedback.  I always encourage students to respond back to me with a plan for improvement not matter how small.  

It is especially important to make a quick and meaningful connection with each student during the first day or couple days of class.  This connection will encourage students to ask questions and feel comfortable contacting you.   

That instructors need to me mindful on how course content is presented to students.  When creating a course try to look at how the material is presented through the view of a student.  What would a student's preception be? Is this content clear and easy to understand?
