Hi,

I go into the classroom before class and arrange the seats in groups of 
4 or 5, facing each other.  when they arrive the students sit for a 
while and then
put them back... assuming that the earlier class had left them in the 
wrong arrangement.  I come to class a few minutes late to see how far they
have gone.  Sometimes I give an expectations survey....how many hours a 
week do you expect to spend in class preparation...etc.

The first order of business, groan is organizing themselves into groups 
of 4 or 5.  http://www.delswork.net/first_day_of_class.htm
