If a student didn’t give thecorrect answer, the instructor would usually ask a series of questions that would lead him or herto the correct answer, or at least would allow the students to find the mistake s/he had made inthe original answer.The instructor was also extremely careful to use plural pronouns, rather than singular ones, thatis, to make statements such as “we are going to solve this problem,” rather than “I’m going
