Today’s Kelvin's Corner resource is a Let’s Talk Teaching podcast from the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology at Illinois State University. This 24-minute episode, titled “The Successful First Day of Class” features a conversation between hosts Claire Lamonica and Jim Gee, where they discuss the ideal successful first day of class -- which should be so much more than “Syllabus Day” -- and provide advice for setting expectations, establishing the culture of your class, and laying the groundwork for an enthusiastic and productive semester.
