During the last week of class students write advice to the incoming class. This is distributed to incoming students and is more reliable and relevant than that available on RateMyProfessors.com. I. INTRODUCTION timid freshman walks into his first class and fumbles with his course schedule to see if he’s in the right room. He sits down with just a pen in hand and looks over his shoulder at a sophomore who is meeting with some old friends. She appears confident about the course ahead and he catches her conversation. She mentions that she has heard about this professor and that she’s ready for the challenges the professor is going to throw at them. The freshman turns back around even more fearful of the required course he already was dreading. Standing alone in the front of the class stands the professor clutching copies of the course syllabus. Like the students sitting in front of her, she might be anxious or confident. Her goal on this first day is to introduce the course and herself to the students. This is her first chance to address pre- and misconceptions of the course and her as a professor. It is also her opportunity to lay out the expectations she has for her students. Getting the students to understand and accept these expectations is a challenge for even the most experienced college teacher.
