Your question must be according to the level of your students. Your question must be according to the types of answers required from your subject matter. And the question must be according to the degree if person exploration or valuing. There is also a descriptive category of question. First is the cognitive memory question, where the students remember contents through processes such as rote memory or selective recall. Second is the convergent question, which the student recall all information that leads to correct or conventional answer. Third is the divergent question, where the student generates their own data or a new perspective on a given topic. And the last is the evaluation question where the students make value judgments about the quality, correctness or adequacy of information.
