Finding Your Audience
Some Points that I’ve learned
Ask students for their side of a problem.
Give them some choice in assignments.
Provide quick feedback.
Set expectations on first day. Be clear.
Be sympathetic but stand your ground.
Always be enthusiastic.
Ask students to introduce themselves to you in writing.
Memorize their names on the first day
Create structure but be flexible.
Take time to reflect.
