Realization: when students don't answer a question in class, they are in fact saying something. They're saying that they don't understand the material adequately or don't feel confident in their understanding (or your question was vague). If that's the case, a constructive response would be scaffolding with simpler questions, providing more explanation, or asking for a question rather than an answer. Cold-calling just papers over the cracks.
Your thoughts?
