  • Emphasize to students that abilities, including computer science abilities, can be grown and developed with deliberate practice.
  • If they are beginning students, remind them that they are merely starting to explore what CS has to offer.
  • Extra info from the CS Teaching Tips Team: Encourage a growth mindset rather than a fixed mindset: practice and trying again lead to improvement, a low test score does not mean you won't improve if you continue working to develop your skills.
