Hi Michael - Are the notecards submitted anonymously? Students often feel less insecure submitting questions via email or notecards than speaking up in class. One way that I use those type of submitted questions is to read the questions and go over them in class. often several students have had the same question! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
