We like when professors facilitate discussions because it can be hard for us students to always have ideas. So when the professor is encouraging and gives us some lead way it can help us brainstorm topics. If there is too much silence it just creates more awkwardness and discourages students to speak up.

Good discussion: interesting topics that make people engaged and want to participate

Bad: interruptions, not engaging topics where it’s difficult to get people to contribute

Good environment: nonjudgmental, open minded, everyone gets equal time to share rather than someone dominating the conversation

Open topics that lots of different people can comment on and share their experiences on.

Respect for each other even through disagreements. Personal attacks make for a hostile environment.
