First Day Roll Call

I don't think it would be rude. It would be more rude to keep calling them by the incorrect name, wouldn't it?

First Day Roll Call

I like the super power question. That can give you a real look into how a person views themselves and the worl they are in. Thanks I will use that myself.

War Stories

Sometimes if I feel I may be losing some students during a lecture I will insert a "war story", from my time in the field, that is relevant to the subject. If I can tell it in a somewhat humorous way, it can bring the students back and maybe show them what it can be like when they are working in the field.

First Day Roll Call

On my first day with a new class, when taking roll call, I like to ask each new student what they hope to do after graduating, and incorporate that into class when I call on them in the future.
