  1. During one of your office hours, one of your students comes to see you with a partially completed lab report. The student is unsure if he is "on the right track" and asks you if his completed answers are "correct." How would you get him to think for himself?
  2. You are TAing a third year class and you overhear some of your students talking about the midterm exam they have just written for your course. They are quite upset because the instructor put very applied questions on the exam. When you ask them how they studied for the exam they say they read over the notes the instructor put on reserve and tried to memorize the definitions in most of text book's chapters they were responsible for. How would you help them to be better prepared for the next midterm?
