I oftentimes wait to see if others know the answer but they simply expect him to raise his hand and answer so they never do themselves. Many times I tell the class that someone else must answer but I do not want to do this for the entire semester, how can I encourage more participation out of the others and teach the other student about self-control. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think an appropriate solution for this is to set the expectation for the class that everyone should be participating in class and answer the questions. You could set the expectation that every time a question is asked, someone who has not already answered a question should be answering it. You could either do this by having them raise their hands, calling on students randomly like with popsicle sticks, or making a popcorn system, where the last person who answered a question gets to call on the next person to answer.
