Direct / Insight
Questions Paragraphs
SUBMITTING ANSWERS TO DIRECT
& INSIGHT QUESTIONS
For INSIGHT questions, there are no right or wrong answers. For example, a question
on your thoughts on why you think people are shy is a pretty
open-ended type of question. Grades will be based on the
depth of personal insight you present. Do not simply agree
or disagree with an insight question. We are looking for critical thinking and possibly a related personal
experience with
the question.
For DIRECT
questions, you should produce a more academic answer. For
example, how do phobias differ from normal fears? This type
of direct question requires a specific answer.
