Teaching tips

Simple teaching tips I wish I knew in early days of my teaching:

• Prepare a weekly schedule with possibly book chapters and auto graded quizzes (antegraded: yes, you won't have time to grade, and you don't have to have manually graded quizzes which is supposed to track whether students are reading chapters and reviewing lecture)

• Make slides/notes that are paced well weekly: dont try tp teach everything, especially dont have to cover what studetns already know. But provide all the basics to bring all students to the same page before discussing the complex topic. 

• Make activities (ingrained into slides are separate paper-based activities) for every single class -- yes, it is possible. 

• If possible, build auto-graded exams as well.
