second to beyond 3 seconds, the following significant improvements in classroom dynamics occurred:

Instructors who use question and answer techniques to teach networking should increase the wait time to see if student learning improves. Instructors can read an article written by Dr. Rowe to learn more about this concept.

Rowe, M., (1974). Relation of wait-time and rewards to the development language, logic and fate control: a. part one: wait time. Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 11(2), 8l-94. b. part two: rewards. 11(4), 29l-308.

Many resources about different forms of wait time are also available on the Web.
