Students often do not understand how important textbooks and study materials are to the successful completion of assignments, quizzes, and exams—and many try to complete their courses without cracking a book.
Easy steps to take
- Hold the textbook up and tell your students that the materials will be used for tests, homework, and assignments
- Distribute First-Day-of-Class flyers with your syllabus. See an example (Word).
- Show PowerPoint presentations on key course technology. See an example (PPT).
- Request a First-Day-of-Class presentation from your Houghton Mifflin sales rep. Your sales rep can talk with you about additional First-Day-of-Class presentation ideas.
