Last year I had two female students and three male ones. This year I have five male students. I think last year's students were rather shy and quiet at the start, too, but of course I remember them as they were at the end of spring semester, when they were happily chatting away about all sorts of things, including, but not limited to, physics! It may also have helped that I had those students in my Monday afternoon lab class, as well, so that they got to see me twice a week.
