Require that students ask two other students for help with their bug before asking you to encourage cooperation and to help them make progress learning debugging skills.

This requirement helps mitigate the fact that often there isn’t enough time to help each and every student who wants help.
Warning:

This policy can result in some students not asking for help when they need it.

This can occur when students are too shy to ask a peer for help.
