This section had some good practical info for that "first" day of class. In some ways, I think that some of the order for doing things is a little arbitrary however. Overall, though, this is good important info to master. In particular, I like the idea of having a checklist. I often write up a quick check list of procedural things, content/key concepts, and technical points that I want to make sure I cover before each class. This way I stay on track.
