Establishing the class and instructor identities are crucial components of any successful class. At the genesis of the class, the roles of student and instructor are established, the work load set forth, and the class theme is shared. A muddled or bad start is very difficult to overcome. A clear start sets a smooth flight path.
This session has two goals: 1) providing instructors early in careers ideas about beginning their classes and 2) giving all participants opportunities to share ideas.
One presenter will have just completed his first university teaching assignment. The other has over 40 years of experience.
