meeting the class for the first

In my opinion, it is critical that the instructor get that first impression right the first day of class. To do so, I feel inquiring about students' background the first day is a great way to "break the ice" and get in "tune" with some of the dynamics.

planning & preparation

I truly believe that planing & prepation are at the "heart" of teaching. These two elements set the tone for students & help in making the course a success.
