Description of the practice
In standard classes, the lecturer allows the student to first verify his or her answer with the person sitting next to him or her or in the small group formed, before asking the student individually for his or her opinion on a topic. This is very comfortable as we can get to know the other person’s position and at the same time check whether we have interpreted the instruction correctly and whether our train of thought is appropriate. After the small group consultation, the lecturer usually gets more voluntary answers to his or her question.
