What do faculty think?
“I was super-nervous because to me, teaching means a lot of talking—giving a lecture or giving a discussion […] I was worried that it would get out of control and either be very much off-topic or nobody would have anything to say.”(Azevedo)
What do students think?
• "I'm not that outspoken in class, so I would never ask a question out loud to the professor.” (Young)
• “I am completely overwhelmed by this concept” (Azevedo)
