I have been thinking lately about asking questions in class. And in my thinking about it way too much I have come to the conclusion that asking a question is an art. Which makes it all the more difficult for me to relax and just casually speak in class.
When asking the perfect question, we dont want to sound ignorant of the facts, but want to collect them into a bundle and wrap them in a cloth of the perfect level of understanding and inquiry. As if to say, I know what I am talking about I just want some clarification for the connections I am making in my head, which are new and exciting.
And connections are key. Connect your knowledge of one thing to something else that is known and then ask.
Maybe I will muster up the gusto for this soon.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions out of total ignorance.
