A class discussion is a facilitated conversation or dialogue among students within a structured educational setting. The purpose of this type of activity can vary, but generally it involves exploring and analyzing various topics related to course material through open-ended questions, group problem solving, and active participation from all members present. It provides an opportunity for students to engage in critical thinking, share their perspectives, and learn from one another while being guided by a teacher or instructor who can provide clarification, offer feedback, and encourage deeper understanding of the subject matter.
