Here is a new book that looks rather thought provoking.
It may provide some interesting topics for discussion, and it mentions first year seminars.

TBers,
This is a reminder that the first Teaching Breakfast of the new year will be tomorrow, Feb. 1 outside Starbucks in the Hunt Union at 8 am. As it often goes, we are under some budgetary constraints this semester, so please consider your personal contribution
toward coffee a worthwhile exchange for the enjoyable conversation.
To kick off the new year I'd like to talk about how the first days of classes went for you. What worked and what didn't and why you think so. If there is time, I'd also like to have a discussion about email. How do you deal with it? Do you get too
much of it? What strategies do you have for getting through it? Does it eat up your entire life? etc.
Hope to see you there. As always, invite a friend to come with you if you can.
