            Since the first day of class is the time for faculty to establish a tone for what will happen the rest of

            the term, it is important to reflect on the climate and first impression she/he would like to

            establish. This article by Delivee L. Wright, from the Teaching and Learning Center at the

            University of Nebraska , offers some ideas about making sure students' attitudes toward you, the

            course and the subject matter will support a constructive learning environment.
