A nursing student states, "When we have lecture-discussion sessions, I never know what's expected of me." The best reply by a peer would be, "I think it's our responsibility as students to

a. avoid actively disagreeing with the instructor or other students."
b. make a list of questions about material we don't understand."
c. listen until we're called upon to answer questions."
d. use review books to check the depth of the material we're learning."


ANS: B
Making a list of questions about material that is not understood is an action that shows active student participation. Lecture-discussion sessions expect students to be self-directed in learning. Avoiding actively disagreeing with the instructor or other students and listening until called upon to answer questions are more passive than active behaviors. Using review books to check the depth of the material is beyond the scope of what's expected from a student and would not be productive.
