First Day of Class (Panel)

What would you like students to take away from your first meeting with them? Beyond introducing the syllabus, the first day of class is an opportunity to connect with students, invite engagement, and generate excitement around your course. Students will expect to hear about course logistics, materials, and assignments, but they would also appreciate insights into how you plan on guiding their learning and how the course connects to their backgrounds and interests. In this 90-minute panel session, faculty from across campus will share their strategies around four principles for planning an impactful first day:

• sparking curiosity
• fostering community
• activating learning
• exploring expectations
