Defining the Problem Questions that Clarify: Why do you say that? How does this relate to our discussions? Questions that probe assumptions: What could we assume instead? How can you verify or disprove that assumption? Questions that probe reasons and evidence: What would be an example? What evidence do you have to support your answer? Questions that explore viewpoints and perspectives: What would be an alternative? What is a different way to look at it? Questions that probe implications and consequences: What are the consequences if that assumption is not valid? How does that tie into what we learned? Questions that revisit the original question: What was the point of this question? Why do you think I asked this question? Defining the Problem
