Most calculus students are not mentally prepared for the work that they are going to have to do, and I think it's a good idea to let them know immediately that this is different from what they have experienced in the past. If done well, this can also create buzz and maybe even some bonding in the classroom since most people like a challenge if presented with one! Have a great year!
