Discussion:
First Day

Establishing open communications with students so they will understand the importance of finding answers to their questions and hopefully if the need arises to ask for assistance if needed. Students need to know that the instructor will assist or advice, if possible and if they can’t maybe they know someone or some organization who can provide assistance.

During the first session while going over the syllabus and class prospectus, I discuss what is expected of them, what they will be doing, why they need the course, what they learn can be used in the real world, hands-on experiences, and goals. Attendance and class participation are encouraged along with code of academic integrity.

Understand the courses I teach are five hours long so a lot of information is given in each session along with lab time to complete their assignments. As an instructor, I give my students 10 minute breaks every hour so they can relax and re-group.
