Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

Slide 12 - Open question

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
Think of your own project.
What could you test to ensure its quality
and reliability, is of a suitable standard?
