Best practices:Think before you teach:
Spend as much time as you can afford on courseconstruction
Be prepared to be somewhat flexible; think ofpossible contingencies
After each class session take a few minutes to jot a
note or two about the class
Put in side notes on your syllabus, note changes youwould make for future courses.
