Independently: The student works mostly on his or her own and seeks information, clarification and consultation as appropriate. Direction: Faculty tells the student what to do, about what steps to take. Information: Faculty tells the student specifics about a concept or topic. 3 Clarification: Faculty, through questioning and feedback, assists the student to state their information in a different and clearer way, often with more details. The student asks questions to increase their understanding; questions asked demonstrate a sound knowledge base. Prompting: Faculty provides the student with a cue that answer is incomplete or incorrect and how to resolve the lack of information. A prompt is broader than a hint. Prompting is generally used to add breadth or depth. Confirmation: Faculty provides positive feedback for correct information and direction provided by the student. Consultation: The student provides faculty with information and/or direction and asks specific questions about the information. Occasional: indicates that input is provided by faculty now and then.
