With first year students, in connection with community agreements, I've found it helpful to let them know things like they are adults and don't need to ask me to go use the restroom during class if needed

On the one hand, while I do have anxieties about what's going to happen in the future, I am very grateful for this present moment, where things are going genuinely well. When I get scared about job security, I can calm myself by just remembering that I am good at what I do, and campus reorg (etc) won't change that aspect of who I am.

The overall vibe on campus feels better - more active, more "buzz". Like a real functioning university. (Which it's felt a bit not like that in recent years).

A number of students are more comfortable asking questions and participating in discussions earlier in the semester than the past couple years.

I take my students outside on the first day and we play games and explore conjectures, and it really helps get students working together and lay the ground work for how different this course is from what they think it will be.

Had serious discussions around the use of and equity around AI generated materials. Helped students not feel as accused of cheating before the semester even got going.

Spent time with Padlets to get a good vibe right from the start - they get to know me, and one another, and I think we have more talking and engagement in general.

Took a harder look at course materials to see how they aligned with my intentions on engagement. New Text edition, new workbook.

Oh! I should read through their responses to the start of semester survey. I gave them the survey, and this is reminding me to read through them.

Been more intentional on creating space for student engagment. I want more voices to be present more often.

"Mixer" idea from another instructor, having them group by various categories, chat for a few minutes, repeat a few times for a few categories (ex. favorite snack food:  sweet/spicy/salty/sour, pets (cat/dog/neither/both), etc

I don't think I would have done anything different on the first day. There are a few little things I might do differently during the second week, but mostly, I think things are working the way I want them to work.

I'm creating detailed notes mostly for flow but then I'm requiring myself to put a debrief in there after the fact. You always think you'll remember when you teach it again --- but you never do ;)

Filled with connection and interest in campus culture/community

A faster pace than historically, but really well.

I had a student cry tears of joy in class. This is a first for me.

They're off to a fantastic start for me. This is the first semester I'm 100% back face to face, and I'm glad about it.
