Questioning sessions as learning tools

Hi Ron - Thanks for your post to the forum. The beauty of questioning vs. other types of assessments is the fluidity. As it occurs in real time we can move to different questions reacting to the responses of our students -asking follow-ups, rephrasing and reviewing. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
