Questions that make people look down on you!

 

Questions like ‘What is this?’, ‘How can I do this’, ‘Can you teach me?’ are knowledge seeking questions.

 

These questions imply:

‘I didn’t try myself to find answers.’

‘I need to be taught because I cannot learn by myself.’ etc. 

 

This means that you are putting yourself to be treated like a baby who needs support.

In order to show your capability, you will need train ‘how to ask questions.’

If teaching is focused on delivering knowledge by understanding, effectiveness would drop significantly for online. This is because learning knowledge by understanding doesn’t require thinking.
