active participating discussion is a really American concept so for Asian culture people from Asian background they're quiet by doesn't mean they don't remember they did not pay attention so actually what time you know it was it was a few lectures later I brought up an issue and mentioned a few lectures back nobody you know remember I said who can remember that raise your hand nobody you know and there was Asian girl she has been quite a whole semester but that's her moment like that she said I got this is she said exactly you know what I was looking for so I respected that difference but when the topic is not so sensitive I try to make sure you know really look at asian people so Asian students they don't I think it's very difficult for Asian students who participate in discussion first as a culture I think American culture you know you encourage participation if you grew up in an Asian country you live some more so that's one thing the second challenge is like on the pace American students like American culture people talk of each other that can be very challenging for people from different cultural background and for me personally you know to be honest with you the first faculty faculty meeting first month it was hard for me to participate because I was waiting for my turn but my talkative active American colleague they always talk over each other so finally the right moment of jump in the conversation is not easy for Asian students so in my class I really pay attention to Asian students eye contact even looking at me you know with the bright eyes it means they have something to share they just don't have the you know the courage to speak up so that's what I you know be mine for our Asian student their cultural background but I also an adult but when the top is sensitive you know I would just accept the silence and to me is more important they think about the things you know so long as they can think things differently now were they used to I'm content
