I would say that using open questions can bring a new level to the learning enviroment. I like that these types of question open the door for other student to want to give their input.
I disagree with The Pygmalion Effect. I have seen in class that students will limit themselves to doing the bare minimum in class. I had one student that every time he got to the point of doing the test on a activity he would stop and ask for help. He would state that "he had no clue as to what he was doing".
