When writing essay or long-answer questions, you should avoid:
Providing prompts that focus on factual recall rather than critical thinking.
This approach limits the opportunity for students to engage in deeper analysis and the development of their own arguments, which is typically a goal of essay questions. Instead, prompts should encourage critical thinking and allow students to express their understanding in a more nuanced way.
