What to Do for the First 15 Minutes of Class

According to a Spring 2019 survey of students at Minneapolis College, about half of them have been late for class 2+ times in the last year due to transportation issues. This means having late or absent students is almost an inevitable reality and it doesn't happen just because they don't care.

For the SciMath School Meeting on 9/19, I would like each one of us to think about 3 ways to run the first 15 minutes of class that are
1) meaningful or accountable for students who come to class on time, and
2) recoverable or less harmful for students who are late for 15 minutes.

​We will hold ​a 15-minute discussion using a Family Feud Board.  Prizes are pineapple short cakes and other yummy snacks from Taiwan.  See you there!
