  37. Writing Questions • Consider literacy levels • Advantages of clickers • Test your questions: Can be simple—say them out loud to yourself, to others. Have your neighbor read them. • Watch out for bias and leading questions: • Do you think agriculture in Maryland is considered as important as it should be? How do you feel about the inadequate funding for University of Maryland Extension?
