I'm teaching freshman for the first time ever and it's an "empirical
science" course (pre-chemistry content) that focuses on deriving
understanding from lab experiences and class discussions. My problem is
they don't discuss! I ask a question and the room is dead silent! I have
an incredible wait time and they still don't answer! I'm so used to my
upper-classmen that jump in all the time and I never have to push. I know
they'll loosen up eventually, but any tips?
