My take is:
- On the first day of opening of a Semester, it is a good practice to give students a handout showing how are you going to move during the Semester and complete the syllabus say in 40 hours, assuming 4 theory hours/week for 10 full working weeks/Semester of 15 weeks. Also include a list of reference work, text books, e-books, Hand Books, articles, web sites and PPT presentations, etc.
- On the last day of the Semester, present an account/evaluation on how you have done during the Semester.
- The above practice will propel students to ask questions/doubts/clarifications/elaboration, etc., worth the name during the Semester.
- Query is most welcomed as it indicates students' engagement. In fact, absence of query is not a good sign. If there is no query on student's side, teacher will have to propel students by opening some queries so that students turn to be interactive.Query promotes interaction between teacher and taught and a very promising sign that on-going teaching-learning process is robust, healthy one and on the right track.
- I prefer that when a query is made, ask other students to express their views in the matter. This involves other students in the class.
- Most probably, some one will answer it correctly. In such a case, supplement/compliment/appreciate the answer given by some one.
- If no right answer is coming in, then teacher takes the lead to satisfy the query. It is necessary to ascertain that the students are satisfied with your answer. It is always good to hit the iron when it it is hot.
- Teacher must avoid bluffing, a deadly sin. If s/he does not know the exact answer, the teacher can promise to clarify the query in the following class. The teacher must keep his/her words and must appear with full preparation in the next class.
- If a teacher finds it (the query) as a mass difficulty and needs further detail analysis, the teacher needs to deal with in a separate class (session) sometimes later.
- Use of mobile is a convenient social media tool, to be used extensively.
- There are always a few brilliant students who want to test the teacher's knowledge/ability/capacity. In this case, teacher must be well prepared, try to get answer from the student who made the query. A teacher normally witnesses such incidences during his service span. Do not get confused, do not fear, do not lose courage/ confidence, be transparent (see the Clauses (1) ,(2) and (8)above), be friendly with students. Love them, do not hate them.

Dear MITians,
It's been a confusion whether student's doubts/queries of must be cleared soon after they ask OR should we clear their doubts after the lecture ?
