Because asking questions helps you focus your thinking, only students who have
questions are really thinking and learning. Answering questions changes
information into useful material that can help you achieve goals
2. What are the different ways to question effectively? Give an example of each!
Knowing why you question. For example; defining your purpose.
What you want to question. For example; being motivated by seeking information
that is related to goal achievement.
