LOL - if only students could be depended on to, you know, actually ask questions during class!
The better approach: The professor poses (pre-written) questions to the class and tells the students, "turn to your neighbor and see what you think"; then, the professor calls on a group to answer. (See the example at § 2.2.3, "Homework review - signature block at https://toedtclassnotes.site44.com/#Day02 https://toedtclassnotes.site44.com/#Day02.)
To be sure, this approach is initially more work for the instructor. But it seems to significantly increase audience engagement. Over time, the instructor builds up a question bank that can be selectively re-used.

Same with teachers and students: as a teacher it’s my job to be the adult in the room, to try to figure out how to get the knowledge into the student’s brain, not the other way around. I might not succeed but I have to keep trying.
