An alternative is to get the search engine to ‘fill in the blank. ‘ So instead of asking [who invented the parachute?], you can enter the query [the parachute was invented by *]. (The blank, or wildcard, search is marked by * – an asterisk.)…

The primary goal of Fill in the Blank questions is to encourage learners to apply knowledge they have already acquired. Fill in the Blank questions are not opinion-based, which means that learners must be able to use information they have mastered during the lesson to correctly answer the question.

Fill in the blank is a test question where students are given a statement with a blank and they are required to fill it in with the most appropriate answer possible. Fill in the blank requires mostly remembering of Bloom’s Taxonomy and if well designed a question could be applying.

Let’s start with everyday types of questions people ask, and the answers they’re likely to elicit.

• Closed questions (aka the ‘Polar’ question)
• Open questions.
• Probing questions.
• Leading questions.
• Loaded questions.
• Funnel questions.
• Recall and process questions.
• Rhetorical questions.

According to the principle of the Five Ws, a report can only be considered complete if it answers these questions starting with an interrogative word:

• Who is it about?
• What happened?
• When did it take place?
• Where did it take place?
• Why did it happen?

Effective questioning involves using questions in the classroom to open conversations, inspire deeper intellectual thought, and promote student-to-student interaction. Effective questions focus on eliciting the process, i.e. the ‘how’ and ‘why,’ in a student’s response, as opposed to answers which just detail ‘what.

A pointed question is a question that gets directly to the very heart of the matter.

Pointed(adj) sharp; having a sharp point; as, a pointed rock. Pointed(adj) characterized by sharpness, directness, or pithiness of expression; terse; epigrammatic; especially, directed to a particular person or thing.

Woodall recommends several ways to nudge the inquirer into giving you a better, easier-to-handle question:

1. Ask them to repeat the question.
2. Ask for clarification.
3. Ask for a definition.
4. Clarify or define a point yourself.
5. Respond to one aspect of the question/line of questioning.
6. Refocus the question.

Example 4: “Thank you for asking. I feel that an annual salary between $67,000 and $72,000 is in line with the industry average and reflects my skills and experience level well. I am, however, flexible and open to hearing about the company’s compensation expectations for this position.”

Here are a few examples of the best weaknesses to mention in an interview:

So, the best answer for “where do you see yourself in 5 years” should include pledges of long-term commitment. But wait, that sounds like a lie. Now, you should never lie during an interview. See, the goal is to find something that you can get behind even if you do end up quitting within the next five years.
