“Really it takes me, maybe 15 minutes to choose the questions. Because once I’ve sorted them by the ones that are undiscovered and the questions based on their quality, it doesn’t really take me all that long to say, ‘They’ll really like to answer this question,’ or ‘This one should be easy for them based on what we’re covering in class.'”
