PREPARING forYOUR FIRST CLASS
Getting your class off on theright foot takes preparation. And first impressions do count. toimpress your students with your
professionalism and themerit of your course, plan thefirst sessions, carefully incorporating some of thesuggestions that follow.


Orientation
On thefirst day, provide an orientation toyour course. Write your name and thename of thecourse on theboard (some students may be
in thewrong classroom). Take attendance, distribute your syllabus, and discuss thetextbook and supplies that students must purchase.
Explain thecourse objectives. I like touse a transparency or PowerPoint slide toshow thetitles of thechapters that will be covered in
thecourse. In this way, students know exactly what they will study. Discuss your grading scale, homework expectations, test policies,
and course rules. Ask students tohave thetextbook when they come tothenext class meeting.


First Writing Assignment
Many instructors dismiss students after a brief first-day meeting. However, this is time lost in a course that always seems torequire
more time than is available. I suggest that, after providing an orientation, you use theremainder of theperiod toask students towrite a
letter toyou. It can be a letter of introduction, telling you about their major, why they enrolled, what career plans they have, and what
they would like emphasized. Be sure tobring paper and writing tools forthis in-class assignment.

, Instead of a letter of introduction, you may prefer tohave students write a persuasive letter toyou. Tell them that they are toassume that
you have only a few openings left in your course. Those few openings will go tothestudents who write themost persuasive letters. Why
should you let them enroll?

Collect theletters and read but don‘t grade them. When you teach persuasive letters (Chapter 7), return these letters tothewriters. They
will be surprised at how much they have learned about writing letters and persuading individuals.

When you return these letters, you‘ll have a chance totalk about writing from thereader‘s point of view. Most of theletters will be
filled with self-centered reasons forenrolling (―I need this course formy major,‖ or ―I need toimprove my skills toget a job‖). Few of
thewriters will have included any reader benefits. forexample, one persuasive rationale might have been toconvince you that thewriter
is a good student who could have made your teaching life easier because he or she learns so easily. Not only will you have a great deal
of good material touse in discussing persuasive strategies, but students will see immediately how much they have already learned
about writing business messages.
