I'm planning a basic course on photography and want to hear some easily forgotten theory, tips and tricks for beginners. In other words, what should beginners know that is often not taught to them for whatever reason?

The best tip a beginner can take is to invest in a Sony a6000 and the e mount platform.

Don't just point at things, frame the space something sits in and compose it properly. This includes people.
Most important area to be in focus if you have shallow dof.
Use a good flash when inside.
