Open Forum
In the classroom I, personally speaking as a student, have always preferred an open forum type of setting, where the teaching is more discussion based.
I find this to be the most effective since it brings in the perspective of the peers as well as creates an interaction between the teacher and student.
Needless to say, teaching a subject that relies so heavily on facts, I implement this same technique and it seems to work very well!
Hi Jennifer, Since I now teach primarily online, I find that to be true.
Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career.

I love having an open question forum in class....however, i feel that an on line forum for more pressing ethical and moral topics are more effective.... It allows students that aren't as verbal to participate through written word
I agree, that keeping an open format for discussion includes all students in the class. This way no one feels left out because we discuss in detail with each student 'putting their two cents in,' so that we can elaborate on the pros and cons of the discussion.
Open discussions are great, It helps to increase group participation and allows students to voice their opinions or their experiences..
hello zafar and open discussion is and excellent idea it help them two quickly and also open up a debate or roundtable

Hi Zafar, I totally agree! Discussion allows students to explore and exchange ideas, get feedback and realize where they need to do more work. Susan
