Students may fax questions to their LINC teacher after receiving permission and direction from their facilitator. Questions may be about material from that day's class or about a topic the student would like his teacher to cover in a future class. Because of the size of the LINC classes, not every student will be able to have his questions addressed individually.
Students attempt to understand an unclear concept.
Teachers and students handle the daily routine of class. Proper teaching methodology required that there be a number of questions from both teacher and students. In 1998, Dr. Cates conducted a study of the number of verbal interactions in each of the LINC classes. Using these numbers, he calculated a daily average of 13.9 verbal interactions for all the LINC classes. He believes that 13.9 verbal interactions are enough to accomplish the three-fold purpose of verbal interaction in the class.
