Today on the first day of Class. As a TA I observed a few teaching methods. The first method was tell them everything you know about the subject until they think that you've answered them. The method that I used was different. As I am interested in these students actually retaining this information.
When asked by a student for an answer to a question I asked them in response "What do you know already?" Just through this act of inquiry the student realized that they had enough information, combined with summary points, to answer the problem on their own.

Great question. I'll remember that myself for the future.
