First day.... try to find out how people decided to take your particular class.... some people really should not be there, and so if they later decide to stop coming, it may have nothing to do with you, your class, your subject,etc......
Some people seem to keep going to school but not progressing.... that's a fight to have with administration, i.e. what should they take before they get to your class.
I taught for 4 years, adjunct in colleges and art schools.... I told truth, warts and all and most everyone liked that part, I expected good work and about 2/3rds did it, 1/3 couldn't get the effort together, and about 1/10th were angry they didn't get an A for just showing up.... I tried to get people to drop out the first week if the class wasn't right for them.
