I personally liked reviewing the grading policy contained within the example syllabus because I know personally we can be too lenient when it comes to students handing in late assignments and the students not prioritizing when it comes to deadlines/ due dates. So with a very clear and concise policy there leaves no room for any misunderstanding. 

The way you start your class can clearly set the tone and I have always felt better about an instructor when they take the time to introduce themselves, spend time getting to know their audience/ group and give a clear outline of the day and course materials they will be reviewing. 

This module shows just how important prior preparation for any class or lecture can be. For both the instructor to keep them focused on the subject matter to be presented but also for the students because they would be recieving a well scripted lesson plan that day that would keep them engaged and help them understand the content of the materials.

How important it is to find your own teaching style that is effective within the classroom and motivates the students to want to learn.
