Support students until they are proficient with content from the beginning of the course as subsequent content will be all the more difficult to learn without mastery of prior content, particularly in introductory CS courses.
Remember that each student has differing amounts of experience and skill sets when giving feedback.
Ask a question that is tangential to the course content at the beginning of the course to teach students how to have a class discussion in low-stakes context so that students create a classroom environment that is safe for engaging in debates.
