Wisdom from an almost 39-year-old woman
Life is about learning the right questions to ask. A person must have some kind of knowledge about a subject in order to ask a question about it. So...saying "do you have any questions?" may not be the best way to check for understanding. You may say, "is there anyone that doesn't have a clue, but isn't able to ask a particular question?" It may be scary how many hands go up!

Good suggestion.
How true!
Interesting. I may try that in one of my classes just to see what happens. But then again, I may not know what to do if everyone raises their hand.
Are you talking to me? LOL!!!
I totally agree!
It isn't as scary as you think actually.....I sometimes preface a question like that with how I was always afraid to ask questions in class and how much I missed out on by not speaking up......amazing how supplying just a tid bit of information to 5th graders can open up the silent ones.....
I think you hit the nail on the head with that.
Good point!
What an interesting way to check for understanding. I'll have to try it.
Good point Debbie!

Thanks for all the comments! This is what I have learned in Grad school! LOL!
