Most classes have a huge range of abilities. Teachers soon learn which students are Harvard material and which will need to apply them­selves just to graduate from high school. By tailoring your questions to your students’ abilities, you can make class discussions a challeng­ing experience for all.

 

However, don’t adhere rigidly to the premise of harder questions for the better students and easier questions for the less talented all the time. Not only will this practice become apparent to the students, but you also may have misjudged the students’ abilities.
