Are Students Afraid to Ask Questions During Lectures?

This morning I taught my standard lecture on how to find information in chemistry and chemical engineering to ChE 396. Throughout my talk I asked if there are any questions. There were none as usual. As I was walking back to the library I encountered a student from the class who said "May I asked you a question?" He asked if the Ebsco family of databases can be used to find cost related information relating to chemical processes. I said that Business Source Premier would be a good source.

This was a good questions, but apparently the student was afraid to ask it during the class.
