Questions/Comments Received:
Questions/Comments Given: I commented on how our students tend to lose interest when we as teachers try to explain how a problem is solve rather than giving the answer or a formula for them to substitute. I asked for suggestion on how I can give motivational hints that move students along to solving the problem rather than giving away the answer
