Title: The First Day of Class - What Tone are We Setting for the Semester?

Abstract: People always talk about how important first impressions are. It is important for us, as teachers, to reflect about the first impression that we make with our students. I truly believe that the first day of class makes a big impact on our students’ mindsets throughout the semester. In this discussion, it is my hope that we can all reflect on how we run our first day of class and the impact it has on our students.
