First I admit I myself am not a good questioner, especially in large lectures.
But I do realize the importance of asking questions as a means of learning and doing research, and encourage my students to do so (how?).
Here is a good article that may motivate you in that direction (see the bottom of the exerpt). This is on Leslie Lamport, this year’s Turing Award winner.

Our first paper on runtime binary translation is accepted to the 21st Reconfigurable Architecture Workshop (RAW 2014), held in Phoenix, Arizona, May 19~20, 2014. The conference is associated with the 28th Annual International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2014). Congratulations to Toan and others who have contributed to this paper!
