You may want to place a brief announcement in the Sundial, DPE Newsletter, etc to catch any last minute additions to the class by the time they get back to campus. We have a blurb already written up here but you may want Be sure to also add the time and place of the first class so people are less likely to miss it. Consult with Monroe to see if this is necessary since the class size has become very large recently and we may not need to recruit more students.
Team Planning
Sit down with Monroe and discuss which teams you plan on having active this semester. Some times we put certain projects on hold in favor of emphasizing others and it is good for planning teams if you know before classes start approximately which teams you want to run. This should be done after you have the enrollment total for the class- be sure to ask Monroe for the course roster that he gets from the department.
