Managing the class

In the beginning a simple statement would start a huge class discussion among the students, at first I would say ok lets get back to work- After a few times I changed my statement to since we are all familiar with the topic lets go forward with a pop quiz for this section.This method has worked and now discussions are kept short and some students will say lets discuss this later before we get a pop quiz!!

Did the resultant discussion add to the class or did it go completely off topic? I love it when a statement I make leads into a more detailed discussion. Students get involved. There's great interchange. It makes the class more fun and productive (in my humblest of opinions). When/if it starts to get off topic, I'll guide it back. If it gets too repetitive, I'll move the class along.
