ED 114

I always open up with a closed end question because they are the easiest for the student to speak up to.  To help break the ice.  Then I follow up with the open end question to allow the student to expand on for a stronger comprehensive knowledge of the material. If their answer is good enough for a comprehensive reasoning.  Then I will give them senerios within the hydraulic field to allow them to see what they can do to think through a problem and what diagnostics tools they would use to come to their conclusion.

I like the idea of a close ended question first. It can build up the student's confidence to speak up in class and then you can draw them in and help them explore the concept(s) with open-ended questions. Sometimes a broad question to start can intimidate some students. Stating the facts or particulars of a subject can help students gather their thoughts and then apply the concepts better. I will try that next time.

I agree with the power of the question (?). I love to send students away pondering something that will be covered the next time
