Questioning sessions as learning tools

Hi Dennis, Thanks for your post to the forum. I agree that ideally we can use questioning to expand on what our students have already learned. This requires them to use critical thinking to, as you mention, look at the information in new ways. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan Polick
