This is one of the best books I have ever used in adult education. My style is to tell the people at the first class that they must commit to reading the chapter the week before class. Then in the class I have several sentences highlighted in my copy of the text. I ask the class what they think of the biobraphical section of the chapter and how they think that it fits with the topic. This usually generates some discussion. Then we go on to the meat of the chapter with the class asking me questions about the material. This generally leads to discussion that goes down a bunny trail but which fills in areas where the class wants more information. Sometimes we get to the discussion questions. I run this class for one hour at the same time as our children's program. Parents stay to save gas on the round trip home.
