Ask a question that is tangential to the course content at the beginning of the course to teach students how to have a class discussion in low-stakes context so that students create a classroom environment that is safe for engaging in debates.
Make the minimum requirements of an assignment worth a B to encourage students to push further for an A.
Incentivize good behavior for Effort, Participation, and Altruism by awarding a small number of points at the end of the course in order (enough points to bump students up a half a grade) to maintain an good classroom environment.
