- Cold calls- "I see why you think that way..." then walk through steps to guide you to answer (work with you).
- Made sure I was paying attention
- Made the class comfortable to participate
- Closer classroom setting because everyone was comfortable to talk
- Students get used to not answering a question to avoid a wrong answer, it's too scary to raise your hand.
- Teach something then follow up with a pertinent activity, it takes time! Students are actively involved in the concept just taught, being able to learn as you go (learning it twice: first presented, then practiced)
- Names on name tags- helpful to know whole classes names
- Professor connection to students- encouraging them to talk and building classroom community.
- Grade for participation :) Learning that asking a simple question still helps you learn
- Ask one question for presentations (keeps me paying attention).

- When was a time you pursued knowledge or answered a question for YOU rather than what you thought the professor wanted to hear?
- Developmental Theories (Howlett): EDUC "tell me your thoughts on this..."
- Intro to PHIL: Every answer was very open-ended! Whatever answer was what we (student) perceived it to be, b/c he didn't want a specific answer.

- Brainstorming became the hard, necessary part; writing became the easier part of the process.
