ABSTRACT
Whatever the decoration of the classroom, its size and arrangement matter most. In a larger class, the teacher can help students to feel more like participating members of a group by arranging the room. Time must be left in the planning of the first class for students’ questions, for filling out administrative forms and for explaining regulations which will affect the students during the course. A training officer introducing a course in work study, with special reference to time and motion study methods and work measurement, devoted most of his first meeting to getting the foremen to air their objections and prejudices on the subject. He listed these largely irrational comments and kept them on view at subsequent meetings and checked off each one as the students agreed that it was not really valid. There are no rigid rules about the method of explaining the course and the techniques to be used.
