  • This will encourage incoming students, as they will have a greater connection to peers who have taken the course before.
  • It will also give you the ability to see what struggles your students have had during the year and appreciate the various ways that they overcame these struggles.

Make all students say “I don’t understand” out loud, in front of the class to show them that nothing bad will happen to help them feel more comfortable saying something when they don’t understand something in the future.
When advertising your course, make it clear that any students “willing to do the work” are “wanted in the course,” and use titles like “Be a software engineer” or “Be an innovator” for your course or course modules.
Remember that each student has differing amounts of experience and skill sets when giving feedback.
