first day of the course
the first day of the course has a very important impact on the students .this require the instructor to prepare for this day before the classes start by being a model,encourage and motivating the students so that make the students make a resolution to continue enrolling in the course.
Khalid,
So true and that is why instructors need to do careful planning on what they want to do the first class meeting. This meeting sets the tone for classes to come, good or bad.

Being prepared for the first day will set the standard for the rest of the term.
I agree the first impression is very important. It can decide if the program is for them or not. I always introduce myself and give the students my back ground. I also give them a chance to introduce themselves and tell us what term they are in.
Yvette,
The first impression sets the stage for upcoming class sessions. As you say a good first impression helps everyone to get on the same page in terms of the course and start settling into the routine that is going to come.
