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.
Help students see that they’re building basic understanding over the course of the semester that will turn into wider understanding since they may become frustrated with their perceived lack of progress.
Ask an open-ended question and encourage constant student participation, rather than responding to the class after each student makes a point, to lead engaging discussions and debates.
