Have you ever attended a teaching environment and observed how some of the students appear to have a lot to say for themselves? They’re often first to ask questions, offer answers and participate in any group activities. If you’re one of those, excellent. On the other hand, if you’re someone who wants to be quiet in class and just learn, you probably find the enthusiastic ones will get on your last nerve!
So, what is the dynamic that’s going on here? Why does this happen, where one or two students shine their lights brighter than others around them? What should you do to combat it? Why do some mediums have more to say than others?
