  Welcome graduate students

  post-docs

  nervous new teachers

  or anyone else that finds themselves in a class room with no teaching experience (heck

  teachers that just want to improve can find something here

  too.) If your first class is tomorrow

  and you are freaking out

  go immediately to the First Day Survival Guide.

  So many new professors enter the classroom

  experts in their field

  but without any guidance on how to teach. While some graduate programs are beginning to address this problem

  most new teachers must simply sink or swim. To boot

  these new teachers often feel uncomfortable asking for help because they don't want their colleagues to know exactly how much they do not know.
