1. Show up to class early. Get set up and then use the remaining time to individually introduce yourself to students. Shake hands, tell them your name, ask their name, and tell them you are happy to have them in the class. Repeat for as many students as time permits. 2/12
2. Start the class by conveying your enthusiasm for the subject and their presence in the class. Pose a question about *why* the subject matters and have students have a paired 2 minute chat about the answer. Call on a few students to respond. Ask and then use their names. 3/12
