As a teacher in college that use the quadrant system; I have to meet new student every one and a half months, that means I meet many studenta for the first time. Usually I introduce myself at the beginnig then. after letting the students to introduce them self I try to make some joke about my life as a student, show them how beautiful and interesting is college life despite the stress of studying, I would use some examples of how the science I'm teaching apply to some popular movies, like " the whole nine yards" when I teach dental assistants, honestly I do not try to overplan my first day I try to go with the flow and listen to the students then connecting their concern with the course.
