Think back to a previous learning experience (a class, a presentation, a training session, etc.) when the
instructor or presenter asked for questions.
In your initial post this week, begin by briefly describing the situation.
• Where were you?
• What was the topic being covered?
Then, focus on the questions that were asked.
• What type of question did you find most helpful? Why? If you can remember, provide the
question.
• What type of question did you find least helpful? Why? Once again, if you can remember the
question, include it in your response.
• Now that you have looked more deeply at the different types of questions, what question would
you have liked to ask or have asked to help you to better understand the topic? What type of
question did you choose? Why?
