SUBMISSION AND GRADING I

Converting Closed Questions

We often ask stock questions of our clients. This exercise asks you to convert common closed questions that may or

may not be a part of your setting. After completing these questions, think about additional ones used in your work. Write

those down and then convert them as well. Try to identify two alternative questions for each question.
