want you to describe every required detail in assignments; and when you call on students
who don’t have their hands raised, the most common response is, “I didn’t have my hand
up” or “I don’t know.” In other cases, they say, “C’mon, just tell us what you want us to
know,” and “Why do we have to learn this stuff?”
