| Jan 18, 2022 at 6:26 | comment | added | FourierFlux | As both a prolific question asker and someone aware of potential monopolization, I always limited myself to a couple immediate questions and then waited until nobody else had questions to ask more. I think this is fairly reasonable. Just make a rule that generally people get a couple questions a lecture and afterwards if nobody has more questions they can ask again. | |

| Jan 17, 2022 at 16:24 | comment | added | mcalex | @davidbak The adage is intended to persuade students to ask questions when they are being quiet due - very commonly - to thinking their own question is stupid, it's usually followed by some aphorism about how some other number of students "... will have exactly the same question as you"; also, the customer is always right. ;-) | |
| Jan 17, 2022 at 11:58 | comment | added | Stef | @davidbak While there might occasionally be a small number of stupid questions, there is also an overwhelming number of people who preface all their questions with "This might be a stupid question, but..." and probably an even larger number of people who don't ask their questions at all because they're too shy or too afraid of sounding stupid. You might call "there are no stupid questions" a hyperbole if you wish, but it's still a very good principle. | |

| Jan 16, 2022 at 21:19 | comment | added | PatrickT | @davidbak I guess the idea is that everyone at some point is allowed to ask a stupid question: typically as a result of misunderstanding something that is otherwise basic, so yes the adage "there are no stupid questions" is intended to encourage tolerance for the occasional slip-up; also, you can often reinterpret stupid questions to make them smart. But if someone keeps asking stupid questions, that's evidence stacking up against them! | |
| Jan 16, 2022 at 19:54 | comment | added | davidbak | @PatrickT - yes and no: there are stupid people, and there also are stupid questions. I don't know why everyone repeats this as if it was one of the ten commandments, unless it is simply used as a shorthand to encourage people to ask non-stupid questions, but I'm sure everybody has actually had experience with getting (or even asking), yes, a stupid question. | |

| Jan 16, 2022 at 14:27 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | "I already offered to spend as much time is needed to answer any student questions at the end of the lecture." -- Think through whether you really mean this or not. E.g., if a student one term wants 4+ hours of question time after every lecture, do you really have that much time to give? Related: academia.stackexchange.com/questions/80524/… | |
