- Do let your class explore
- Do let your class share

- If you are not interested in CS, your student won't be either.
- Take some love in your learning got you in teaching and learn right alongside with your class.
- Create interesting project and inspire them to learn and try.

- Simulate that "someone could have done that have been helpful in a generic instance"
Don't Expect Cookie-Cutter Result

- Setup big final projects and breakdown to smaller pieces of tasks to work on and to keep track.
- A rubic will help to guide the students which are scoring tasks and so they can skip those little things that they are stuck.
