SUMMARY
Too often, questions are hastily put together because they "sound good" to the researchers. Poor questions are confusing to participants and are virtually impossible to analyze. In this chapter, we've highlighted the qualities that result in good questioning routes. These questions are conversational, clear, and short-among other things. Not all questions are alike, and five distinct types of questions were discussed: opening, introductory, transition, key, and ending questions. We shared some questions that ask participants to go beyond the sit-and-talk response. Finally, we shared a process for developing questions.
