meeting your class for the first time
do not only report or tell your history, report
what you feel is going to be part of the possible future of the field. e.g. genetic history or whats going on in research
Hi Helen,
You are focused on the two key elements of teaching success. Your excitement about your subject, clear expectations and classroom management. You are gaining your students' respect from the very beginning and can start creating rapport with them to help keep them engaged in the course content.

There are 2 important pieces of information, my students need from me on the first day of class. My positive expectations and classroom management. It helps them connect with you and at the same time the teacher shows some respect and acknowledgment. It builds their confidence in me.
I agree with this too. Insight into the future is always exciting. Most especially for young minds entering a field.
Hi Donald,
Good idea! You are helping your students to see the future through their training today. This is an excellent way to motivate them to continue in their programs.
