Rob Russell's tips for writing a good question:
- look back through the readings, your notes, etc.
- write down 4-5 questions that occur to you as you review, then ...
- eliminate questions that would elicit yes/no, true/false, or short, fact-based answers (like names, dates or definitions), then ...
- ask yourself, “Which of these questions, if answered, would make the most difference in my understanding of the course material?"
