Do you ask questions in class?

I am usually shy in new classes and with new teachers so in the beginning of the year I usually don't ask questions but it is also fairly easy to keep up with. But usually during the second semester when things get harder, I try to ask questions. One of my teachers actually had to make a participation grade because our class was so quite. Very ironic, compared to my other classes where we always get in trouble for talking to much.

i never ask question in class,even dislike.i think everybody knows that when you ask question,you must stand up,then everyone will pay attention to you,which make me feel so bad. so if i have any question about the leason,i will ask it after class alone.

Yes, I always ask questions in class. I ask questions when I don't understand the topic. Understanding the topic better and having a better explanation enables me to study faster. Also, there is an added grade for participating in class.

Most of the time I am like that but there are the times where I don't pay attention when I should. But it's alot easier to pay attention and ask question's when it is a subject that I am very interested in or am starting to like. So for it comes down to how interesting the subject or subject matter is.

I guess I have always been the shy little girl when I was growing up, so I seldom participate in class, unless of course we were graded for it. I remember one time in my English class I received a FAILURE NOTICE. This is given to students who are about to fail in that quarter. I had to show it to my parents since they needed to sign it before I can return it back to class the next day. My mom was so mad that it made her cry that night when I presented the slip to her. Then she noticed that I was failing because my Oral Participation was only 1/10 or 10%! She asked me a bunch of questions from my book, which I answered correctly. Then she asked my why I was not participating when I knew the answers to all her questions. Well, I was TOO SHY! I didn't want to be noticed by the teacher. I hated being the center of attention in class! The funny thing was, there was a remedial for everyone who received the notice so that they can have the opportunity to increase their grades -- i got a 100%, which made me the top of the class. Hahahaha.. All the other students who didnt get the remedial were saying how unfair it is that I now got the highest grade, so to be fair, they too took the remedial. Hahahah Bottomline is, I pay attention in class but I seldom ever raise my hands to participate -- both to ask or answer questions.

well honestly i do not ask question and if i can not understand what teacher is teaching i usually wait and see that may be some one also not understand and probably he ask which most of time in my case works.If some one do not ask the question by the end of the lecture i personally ask explanation from teacher

I'm a very inquisitive and curious person and I'm not afraid to ask questions in class :) I have reasons why I ask question: first, I wanted to test the teacher's capacity, second, I ask questions because I really want to understand the discussion :)

I always pay attention in class and I will always ask question in the class if I have something that I don't understand. It help me a lot by asking question there because the teacher is there and will surely give you the best guidance. But, if I don't I pay attention in class, of course I have nothing to ask. XD

no i don't . i was a quiet and shy person as a student before. specially when the instructor in high school was kind of snob and hard to ask some questions.

Yeah some times I do ask some doubts in the class and also I'll raise some doubts.Some times I feel some what shy/scared of asking but if have a very serious doubt I'll just ask off.Or else I'll ask my friends who are intelligent than me.Basically I will try to catch the concept of the topic, so I'll not get much doubts in the class.Some times I'll raise doubts to divert the topic or when the class is boring.When the lecturer tries to clarify the doubt we will chit-chat...

I learned in my town school where the teachers are old people and they are seen tough guys.So,we all didn't have guts to raise questions in a class room.Also,the education was spoon fed,that is,they give you notes and all you have to do is,just memorize the answers and repeat in tests.And we are really afraid as they would tease us,if raised a question. But things are different when I joined my college.It was a new college then and the staffs are young chaps.So we felt free to ask questions.What worse was,they are not educated or trained staffs so that they couldn't clear our doubts.In fact,they felt offended.So,we had to rely on the library to learn of our own.Cheers!

Actually,i am a person that do not like to ask question in class and my results wasn't good either.I don't know the reason behind it,it may be because i am too shy to ask questions infront of the whole class.I know i should ask questions when i don't understand because that will help in my learning and thus,improve my results.So now,i have been asking more and more questions in class because it will benefit me in my studies.

I do not ask question in class too, but if I am puzzled with something about the course, I ask the teacher alone after the class. Many students in my class raise their hand immediately when they have question, sometime they even speak to the teacher without make a gesture. Usually, our teacher do not mad about this, they like the students give questions, and we never laugh at these students.

I'm interested in the topic.I have scanned many views before I start to add my comment.As for me,I can cath up with what the teacher says.Therefore,I seldom ask questions in class except when the teacher gives a wrong explanation or I have come up with a new method.Different methods to a question are usually welcome in my class.In this way,I can participate in the class actively and aquire a better understanding of the question.

Im from Malaysia, where the learning culture is to listen and absorb what the education wants the student to know, and then make sure you yourself must adapt to the examination in order to obtain better education in future... Asking in the class makes me learn quicker and more efficient.. It helps me in my studies but i do not sure whether it is useful for others

I am usually attentive in a class, if its not so boring, and will ask questions only if iam really in doubt, i like to ask questions but will avoid silly or simple questions and make my question relevant to the subject which the teacher will also enjoy to answer

To tell the truth i never ask questions in class. ofcourse that does not mean that i understand everything that is said. i usually try to clear my doubts by myself (i.e. referring to other similar topics etc.) in case that i still could not understand it , i will then go to the professor and ask him/her. the real reason for doing this is because of fear of asking a silly question, but one advantage i get from this is that i could understand the topic better when i try to learn by myself rather than by asking others.

hi Yes i do ask question,when i dont understand the concept or if i want to have good knowledge of that topic,i do definitely ask.if i dont ask doubts in the class,i ask the faculty,when they are free. but all the students dont dare to ask doubts ,either they fear or they feel shy to ask.but better to get rid of these feelings. happy mylotting

In my old days, we never ask question in class, but only answer questions raised by teachers. Yesterday, I had a chance to attend a sunday drawing class with my grandson. From time to time, little boys and girls raise hands to ask questions, express opinions, making suggestions, demonstrate their drawings. They are five or six years old. They like the preschool classes, and feel equal with the teacher. I wonder if such preschool teaching method could extend to the soon coming primary school.

I don't ask questions too often in class, nor do I participate in class discussions because I feel like I'd rather ask my professor about it after class.
