FERPA also restricts the release of student information without written consent from the student or their parent, with certain exceptions for school officials and legitimate educational interests.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Using other resources to find answers that a tutor does not know is not inappropriate. In fact, it can be beneficial for both the tutor and the student. It allows the tutor to expand their knowledge and provide accurate information to the student. Additionally, it teaches the student the importance of researching and finding information from reliable sources. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Out of the four options below which is true?

    • You have to know all of the answers.

    • Silence is okay.

    • Asking many questions in a row that the student doesn't know is good for him/her.

    • Using the learning model will make you look stupid in front of the student.

    Correct Answer
    A. Silence is okay.
    Explanation
    Silence is okay because it allows for reflection and processing of information. It gives the student time to think and come up with their own answer. It also encourages independent thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, silence can create a comfortable and non-threatening learning environment, where students feel safe to express their thoughts and ask questions.

    A good way of introducing a new subject is to have the student try to do it all by himself or herself and then you correct the mistakes. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Introducing a new subject by having the student try to do it all by themselves and then correcting their mistakes may not always be a good way. While it is important to encourage independent thinking and problem-solving skills, completely leaving the student to figure out everything on their own can lead to frustration and confusion. It is often beneficial for the teacher to provide guidance and instruction, ensuring that the student has a solid foundation and understanding of the subject before attempting to tackle it independently.

    A. To find out what gaps are missing in their knowledge
    A. To avoid being an answer giver

    Explanation
    Asking good questions while tutoring is important because it helps identify the gaps in the student's knowledge. This allows the tutor to tailor their teaching to address those specific areas of weakness. Additionally, by avoiding simply giving answers, the tutor encourages the student to think critically and problem-solve on their own. This helps develop their understanding and ability to approach problems independently.

Good questions should show direction, meaning they provide guidance or focus for the discussion or task at hand. Additionally, good questions help organize data by prompting the person to think critically and categorize information.
