It is a great example of using questions to help someone acquire knowledge rather than teach it - the Socratic method - leads to much stickier knowledge than being shown how to do something.

I've even considered applying Socratic method to the class I teach at Northwestern, but I haven't figured out the best approach.

The Socratic method is almost a holy grail because it looks so simple and yet is difficult to do well. People who are experts in Theory of Constraints have learned to use this method quite well.

There is always the Wikipedia entry on Socratic method.
