    - This seems to be a convergent lesson, whereby the presenter goes back to her points that she has presented. Would it be better for the discussion to flow as what the students presented?
    - Regarding the introduction to the topic, was it redundant to ask people on the topic title? 
    - How do you know 1 person came out with the answer or the team discussed and came up with the answers?
    - Why didn't the TA assign different question to each group? Seems redundant.]]>     2021-11-17 14:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/markgan/pq6q4n5pnt6l5mgw/wish/1896936067     Questions https://padlet.com/markgan/pq6q4n5pnt6l5mgw/wish/1896938027
