Do you talk in class?

[Daltron]

Ie. actively participate in answering questions and contributing to discussion?

I don't, I am usually quiet

[MKR&*42]

In college I used to take the bullet in sociology and biology and german cause i actually knew what the **** I was talking about and there's nothing worse than seeing a teacher start to boil with rage cause no-one is participating.

In school I can't recall, with most of my other college classes not really as I was never that smart in maths and philosophy it was like a battle between EVERYONE to get a chance to speak so I just gave up.

Not really unless I'm asked directly or if it's one of those awkward moments where the teacher asks the whole class something and nobody says anything

[LoveToStack]

Only if the lecturer is begging for an answer or some indication that anyone is paying attention / understanding the material and absolutely no one else is throwing them a bone.

Even then it's a fine line though. I've made the mistake in the past of fielding the answers to lots of questions in tutorial sessions where no one else has done the bloody work and then you earn a reputation. Not just among the others in the group but with the tutor as well. While it's a good thing to have the tutor know you're shifting your weight, it's not always ideal to have them know they can call on you to have done the work week in week out when no one else has.

yeah i did a lot but the older i got the less i'd talk, i probably talked the most around 14/15 i remember when i had geography and i'd literally be the only one in the class to participate, where it got to the stage my teacher would actually say 'anyone but tara'

now in uni i don't because they usually ask you to expand on your ideas and im like NO

[e5]

I was just a little **** when I was in school

[Yupt]

lol yes i was terrible in class, i used to talk literally through every lesson probably why i learnt nothing lool

[Sho]

Nah I stayed quiet unless I was asked directly, which happened a lot since I was quiet sigh.

[Gina]

[Yawn]
