One of the most important moments of an SI session happens when a member of the study group asks the SI leader a direct question. If the leader answers the question for the group member, SI sessions will soon be reduced to the SI leader answering questions and re-lecturing over the material. It is therefore critical to the overall goal of SI that questions be redirected to the group to be answered. This is more difficult than it sounds because it’s counter intuitive not to answer a question to which you know the answer.
