It's day 4, and the semester already feels well (and disturbingly) under way. What do (or did) you do on the first day of class? How did it go? Here's a link with some recommendations. For clarification, while the link is housed at U of Hawaii, the material is actually written by Joyce Povlacs's, at the University of Nebraska.

Do any of these sound useful? I'd love to know what others do on Day One--please feel free to comment!

I always wind up reviewing my syllabus on Day One--which is boring for myself and the students, yet, I feel like it is necessary, especially since experience says many students won't read the syllabus on their own. What do others think?
