Questions for further thought

We are excited to provide you with a list of higher-order questions. These questions can be utilized in a variety of ways, such as in-class group activities or by simply sharing them with your students via your LMS. We encourage you to incorporate these questions into your teaching to inspire critical thinking and engage your students in meaningful discussions.
