Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion.

For skills testing it is not only important for the instructor to be satisfied that the student has reached a certain level of expertise, but that the student feel a sense of pride and accomplishment in demonstrating that skill at the completion of the testing process.

After reviewing and compiling a synopsis of the information received, the instructor can get a good feel for the level of student comprehension and can answer or expound on issues without making anyone feel uncomfortable.
