It is a truth universally acknowledged that good professors show up early to talk with students before class. And that even better ones play clips of goat yoga and evoke wonder. But is it time to reconsider these pre-class rituals? Perhaps—for both our students’ sakes and our own.

Though I can stand confidently in front of a class of 40 or a conference of 400 colleagues, I am an introvert. Rather than chatting with my students, I start playing varying genres of music 15 minutes before class. Most students seem to like it, as do I and students do not feel they interrupt me when they come up to ask a question.
