Incontrast,intheUSA,studentsattendingaclassoftentalktotheprofessorduringthelecturewhenevertheyhaveaquestionortheyhaveanopinion.So,aprofessorintheUSAsometimeshastostopthelecturetotalkaboutorexplainthethingaskedbyastudentevenduringthelecture.Whentheprofessoraskssomethingtothestudents,someoneanswersthequestionvoluntarily,andsomeoneelsewouldanswerthequestionifhisorheranswerisdifferentfromthefirstperson.AtthattimeIthinkthestudentsdon'tworryaboutwhethertheiranswersarerightornot,buttheyanswerbecausesomethingoccurstothem.
