Essential Resources for a Successful Semester
The first week of a course and the week it before teaching begins can be particularly busy times for faculty, whether it is their first or their hundredth time teaching. It’s not an unusual goal to want to get “over the hump” of those initial stages of readying and initiating a course, and to move into the more predictable pattern or “groove” of teaching that follows.
