I teach computer classes, and some of the non-IT students are tremendous fear. In the applications class, I found that if I grade one assignment each day, not only can I give fast feedback, I can build student confidence. Near the end of the class period each day, I grade one assignment for all students by having them pull it up on their screen, and I go around the room, grading it. I tell each student whether they did a good job, or whether something is a little out of place, etc. I don't tell them their grade on the assignment. I immediately enter their grades into my gradebook and post them to a secure website where they can sign in and look at their scores. This seems to help a lot b/c they know what their grades are at all times, and they know whether they are doing their work correctly.
