Don't Make This Mistake

Today I'd like to tell you about a mistake that I make far too often, so you can avoid it.

I often record my teaching and then listen to it the next day. (It's painful, but the best way I know to be in improvement mode.)

Here's the mistake I noticed I made several times in the past few months:

I asked one question right after another, and didn't leave any time to ponder and answer. I stacked up two, three, sometimes four question, bang, bang, bang, kapow! And these weren't rhetorical questions, either.

After you ask a question, give your class or group time to respond.

Let me say that again (to myself!).
