for a new instructor, being prepaired for the class is much easier with the correct tools to teach the class
A little trick that I use for getting to know my students is by asking where they are from and then having a short conversation about their hometown. This helps me relate to them and build credibility with them if I have been to or through where they are from.
I like the introductions in the first class and also the pre-test gives me insight to their knowledge level.
Zenobia,
How do you get to know your students?

James,
Right you are and this is why it is so important to know what those tools are. So continue your professional development efforts so you can expand your expertise each time you teach.
Gary
I agree. As well as knowing your subject and your students.
