Facilitators: 
Samantha Chang, Faculty Liaison Coordinator, Teaching, Learning and Technology
Jordan Holmes, Senior Manager, Teaching, Learning and Technology
Cora McCloy, Faculty Liaison Coordinator, SoTL

This session will provide strategies for getting your course off to a welcoming and productive start, including: 

• what to do in the first week of classes
• how to present the course objectives and syllabus to your students
• how to initiate and sustain excitement about your discipline
• how to motivate and prepare your students for the requirements and responsibilities of the course.

Participants will have the opportunity to generate a plan for their first class and will be provided a Worksheet in advance of the session to use throughout the workshop. Group activities will be integrated throughout to allow opportunities to share ideas and first class strategies that promote a welcoming class environment and can set your students up for success.
