At the start of the class reassure everyone that mistakes are okay and that they will not break anything.

Let students make mistakes:Students are going to make mistakes, get confused and need help.

The goal is to give students an understanding of WHY they are doing a certain task, so that they understand the reason for the instructions they are following, rather than just following them. The software development method is one of the вЂњsuggested readingвЂќ topics in LabVIEW Core 1 and this method is used in all development exercises.

They see a blank VI and have no idea how to develop their application.

After the class they may face the 'blank VI syndrome'. Teach them how to find the answer themselves to promote self-learning outside of the classroom.Software Design Method:During class many students follow the exercise instructions without understanding what they are doing. When they ask you about the function, walk them through opening the Context Help or the LabVIEW Help to learn more about the function. For example, they may use a VI or function for the first time in an exercise.

Teach students to problem-solve:One of the key goals of this course is to teach students how to problem-solve. It is important that you explain how to use the palette search and/or Quick Drop functionality so that students understand how to find controls and functions.

Key messages for the instructor:Search tools for palettes:Unless it is key to understanding a concept (such as the concept of high-level vs low-level file I/O VIs), palette paths for VI's, functions, controls and indicators are no longer shown in course material and exercises.
