Week 1 Highlights for Students That Missed Class #1

Sometimes a student will not be able to make it to the very first class. When this happens, I try to meet with her briefly and give her a handout before the second class occurs.

This allows us a few moments to get acquainted with each other, if we don’t already know each other, and for me to answer any questions she may have.

I also give her a handout that covers the material she missed from week 1. This allows her a chance to feel like she has some ideas of what will be covered in class.

Just for your information–I do not offer a handout to my students if they miss any other weeks of class. I find that the students help each other whenever this happens, plus I just haven’t made the time to do this.

If you decide this is important for your students, then feel free to do so. Just know that you will have to compose them yourself.
