Use small whiteboards for formative assessments during class instead of clickers because they have a low overhead to get up and running and they allow you to quickly gauge student progress.
Provide consistent feedback opportunities from the very first day of the course to assist struggling students early on and prevent them from falling behind.
At the end of each class, have students write themselves a summary of the big ideas they learned so they get practice sifting through lots of information to find its most important ideas.
