Hi Graham- Thanks for your post to the forum. You bring up an intersting point. Most often we think of questioning sessions as opportunities to see how much our students know. However, as you mention, it is often an opportunity for our students to assimilate knowledge- things they may have missed or may have minunderstood. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

HI Nikki- Thanks for your post to the forum. I completely agree that we must do our best to have our students attain reasonably adequate communication skills before sending them out into the workplace. Realistically this can be daunting since as we all know, we do encounter students who have somehow managed to graduate from high school without really learning to read and write. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Hi Bill- Thanks for your post to the forum. Students usually enjoy scenario based questions. Having them relate how they would react personally is an excellent tool that will really help with retention of the relative concepts as well as the ability to use critical thinking when applying that knowledge in the workplace. Great work! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
