Questions and answers

What is the typical percentage of time that is used in the class for questions and answers?

Hi Ron - Research cited by Katleen Cotton says 35% to 50% of time is spent in questioning.

The late Kathleen Cotton was a Research Associate with the School Improvement Program of the Northwest Regional Education Laboratory and the author of more than 70 publications. Here is the link to her article on questioning

My personal experience I will ask about 35% if possible.
