Lab (For Students) (For Teachers) — Assignment (For Students) (For Teachers) — Quiz (For Students) (For Teachers)
The "Name Game"
It is common for a teacher to go around the room and ask each student to say his or her name. Since this is the first class of the course, we may ask the students to say their names, but also to name an example of a real-world use for robotics. Students should give specific examples of actual robots, not vague examples. For instance a student should say "The Mars Rover" instead of "A robot that drives a car".
As an additional exercise, have the student say their name, an example of a robot, and then repeat the name and example from the previous 5 students.
Introduction to the Course
If you have a syllabus, you should give one copy to each student. You should tell in advance when all the quizzes and tests will be, and how the final grade for the course will be computed. You may choose to use the example Syllabus.
