Are We On The Same Page?: Using a Day 1 Questionnaire as a Guide To Develop Positive Student Relationships and an Active Engagement Course Culture

Student Engagement, Leader-member exchange, Pedagogy Strategies

What makes a student feel included in a course? What makes a student desire to actively engage in a course? As professors, sometimes our approaches to accomplishing these goals do not coincide with the approaches our students would be receptive to. Oftentimes, we do not find this out until after reading and reflecting on end of course evaluations. In this session, participants will learn how to craft a Day 1 questionnaire for their classroom that can be used as a guide to creating a positive learning environment for each individual student and for the class as a whole.
