Conclusion

The teaching and learning process revolves around the act of asking and answering questions. Teachers give questions that students are expected to answer, while students ask teachers questions to seek explanation and elaboration, as well as to fulfill curiosity. Textbooks and other course materials offer several questions, either as part of the subject presentation or as a study and review aid.
