How do you make your CS lectures more interesting?

Overcoming a friend's self-discouragement

What can the instructor do to overcome the Authenticity Bias in students?
First, your classroom needs to be comfortable.

How can I determine if a student would enjoy or has an aptitude for CS?
I started with Khan Academy.

How to convey how much computing power has grown since the 1960s?
I (barely) remember when the first iPhone came out. I remember playing this skeeball app on it, and really enjoying it. I thought it was so cool, and fast, and I thought the phone was sleek and small. …

Is there some meaningful percentage of students who can't learn to program?
I'm going to be quite honest.

Problematic student at a very high level
Figure out some simple way to let him test out of a unit - a quicker program to show he knows his stuff, a simple conversation with you, something that doesn't require much effort.

How do you wow second-year students into saying "bare-metal programming is cool!"?
I would argue the best way to do this is have some demonstrations prepared: things they can build with the tools you're teaching that "look" flashy and exciting. Show some cool programs written in C, …
