I think it’s important, if you’re doing in-person study groups, that each student should have to answer questions in front of the rest of the class—put them on the spot, both to wake them up and as an incentive to study so they don’t look bad.
What’s a good level of challenge for some would lead to paralyzing anxiety for others. One advantage to a mostly online system is that students can choose classes with policies that suit the way they learn.
They could perhaps commit to a certain question-asking discipline when signing up for the course?
Most students want to do well (in far mode), but may have trouble actually working. Incentives vary from student to student, so let the student pick those they think would work for them.
