The Socratic method

 The Socratic method is a way of challenging a person to think more or to see if they know the answer supposedly they say they know. Anybody can hear a right answer but not really know the evidence to back up their answer. I think it's a good way of teaching because it challenges the student to pay attention and actually know the stuff and what causes led up the an event. If a student has an answer but can't back up their claim with evidence how would they truly be able to understand it. They wouldn't be able to and they would just forget about it in a couple of days.
