questions
I like to go around the room and keep asking does everyone agree or have something to add. this way i can build off of what the students are giving me for feed back
NATHAN,
Absolutely! Adult learners come with a wealth of information and we need to make use of this learning technique.

This practice does work. They can help drive the direction of the class as well as the depth of the topic discussed.
Michael,
It is important to share your own experiences; it makes the class more fulfilling.
Judy Mohammed
I agree, during lectures I ask questions to have students share there personal experience with the subject matter and I'll impart my own experiences to give students a real grasp of the subject matter.
Matthew,
This is a very good technique! Questions promote critical thinking but also helps teachers to guage understanding.
Judy Mohammed
Stan,
I certainly agree with you. Students come in with very rich and diverse experiences. Teachers are often surprised by the additions students bring to the class.
Judy Mohammed
I like to ask similiar questions to duifferent students but require a different answer to be correct. This allows me to understand if the students really understand the information or they are relying on others for too much support.
I also question the students in respect to the material to get their feedback. I find that some students ask very intelligent questions and offer comments including senarios that they have encountered. This gives more credibility to the lesson.
Richard,
These are essentials in teaching. All teachers should offer praise frequently.

Peter,
How do you keep them involved during the presentation, by asking questions?
Judy Mohammed
I totally agree with Frank, I also ask many question to gain what they comprended of the given course material and to give praise where praise is due.
I keep the students involved in the presentation,and ask them question after,to determine their understanding of the material.
Frank,
This is a very good technique. It builds students' confidence and can be used to ensure unstanding.
