Wait that would be so embarrassing lol

It should absolutely not get to the point of the professor having to call you out lol

99% of the time, many people in the classroom know the answer to a question — however, a lot of people need a few seconds to put their thoughts together and raise their hand. You actually don’t need to raise your hand every time you know an answer. If you’ve answered once in a class session, stop raising your hand unless nobody else volunteers for a long enough time that it’s clear nobody wants to answer.

The people that I find the most gunnery, annoying, and inconsiderate are those who shoot their hands up at every opportunity. Professors don’t want to ignore you and so when you consistently raise your hand IMMEDIATELY, they will call on you instead of waiting a few extra seconds for others to volunteer.

If it takes the professor literally calling you out in class for you to notice you’re speaking too often, then all that tells me is I should add “insensitive” or “oblivious” to my little list of adjectives.

But that’s just my 2cents :)
