Think about whether you are playing the role of a teacher, a student, or a peer and whether you should be teaching, asking questions, or debating.

1. It’s more important that the student understand the teacher than that the teacher understand the student, though both are important.
2. Recognize that while everyone has the right and responsibility to try to make sense of important things, they must do so with humility and radical open-mindedness.
