Guys, Speak Out!

Today Michael said: 'I heard from my Malaysian friends that Malaysian students don't usually speak out in class'. Well, I couldn't agree with you Mike.

Being an active learner doesn't mean that we have to propose questions or lead to a discussion. Sometimes when everybody knows everything, isn't it a waste of time to do all those things? Secondly, I always thought it is more beneficial to run through a problem in our own minds before seeking out for help. So if we could already figure out the answer by ourselves, is it still necessary to ask? But of course most of the time we do seek for confirmation.

And lastly, Malaysian students do speak out a lot in class. Just not with teacher...
