Get feedback from your students before the course is over so you have time to implement their suggestions!
Praise students for receiving feedback well to encourage them to be open and receptive when they get information that will help them improve their learning.
In preparing for class, set up at least one lab computer with all the software you expect to use and complete assignments and labs yourself right before your students do them. This lets you see any problems that might arise.
