Around 10 years ago I had to train a bunch of Korean build engineers on teh build process for our system. I found they never ask questions and always say they understand. I thought it was all a breeze until the last day when we had hands-on labs and I sh!t my pants that they hadn't picked up a thing.
That's why I'm not a trainer.Comment

HTH.
I don't ask the question as blatantly as that - I simply hit people up with pop quizzes asking someone to explain it back to me. That's the way I gauge understanding.Comment
