- My favorite Socratic Method story, probably apochryphal.
-
- The professor calls out for a student to relate the facts of the case, and
- calls on Student 1. Student 1 says, "I'm sorry, but I'm not prepared." (For

-
- The professor calls on Student 2. Student 2 says, "I'm sorry, but I'm not
- prepared."

-
- The professor calls on Student [n-1]. Student [n-1] says, "I'm sorry, but
- I'm not prepared."
-
- The professor calls on Student [n]. Student [n] says, "I don't have
- anything to add to what has already been said".
