Rather than taking away points, have students with sub-standard code improve it to better simulate how actual software engineering works.
Remind students that each problem relies on a specific set of knowledge; not understanding a particular problem doesn't mean they’re stupid, it’s an opportunity to work hard and learn more.
Call on all students equally to emphasize student equality and avoid creating a competitive environment. This prevents expert students from dominating during class since you’re not validating interruptive, show-offy behavior.
