Open Question Definition

Open ended questions are questions that require an answer more than just 'yes' or 'no', they require a bigger answer, a more in-depth description. Some questions can be one considering what one plans to do, or what one plans to not do, something that would require something to back it up to make a good point out of it.

Example - What do you plan to do after college?

Closed Question Definition

Closed ended questions are almost the opposite of open ended questions, they actually are usually responded with a 'yes' or 'no' answer. The questions are usually considering how someone sees something, asking their opinion when the answer can be explained by simply responding with yes or no, without needing an in-depth description.

Example - Will you please do me a favour?
