Do students ever return and tell you what they thought of their class? 
What was their feedback?  Do you consult with the employers of those 
students to find what they want?

Both of these strike me as better ideas than asking us.  Personally, 
it's been so long since I learned both Java and especially my first 
programming language, I wouldn't trust myself to give advice to anyone 
starting out today without knowing some context.
