Positive Attributes:

3) It is a quick way to check if a student recalls a specific fact

6) Students have their memory checked

10) The teacher can quickly check if a student is listening to the lecture or a fellow student with a simple question

Negative Attributes:

1) Only one student is involved with the question

2) The teacher provides the "end all and be all" answer

4) Most of the time the style of question is lower level

5) The teacher is the most active participant in the discussion

7) Questions that should have many right answers now apparently have only one

8) Students do not have time to think through their reasoning with assistance from delving questions

9) Rather than continuing to analyze themselves, students just wait for the teacher to tell them the answer
