ROLE REVERSAL Each Practice Test contains one Role Reversal feature, in which we challenge you to create your own exam question. The goal is to think creatively and accurately. Crafting questions is a good way to reinforce what you understand and recognize the areas that you need to review. Your professor may ask you to submit the questions in writing or electronically, or to prepare an overhead slide. The question should be challenging enough that the average student will need to stop and think, but clear enough that there is only one answer. Useful questions can be formatted as essay, short answer, or multiple choice. Notice that some exam questions are very direct, while others require deeper analysis. Here are two examples. The first focuses on a definition. Question: An injunction is:
(a) A decision by an appeals court affirming the trial court
(b) A decision by an appeals court reversing a trial court
(c) A decision by an appeals court sending a decision back down to a lower court
(d) A theory of law requiring that current cases be decided based on earlier decisions
(e) A judge’s order that someone stop doing something
