Two forms of assessment methods remained popular and trusted by educators, namely the essay question and the problem question. This is especially true in the study of law, where arguments are expressed heavily in written form. These two question types are favoured because of the rigorous tests they put on students in answering them and each type is meant to be answered in an entirely different manner than the other. There are indeed different approaches to an essay question and a problem question and this essay shall explore them by looking into each’s nature and role, purpose, skills and techniques required as well as a comparison between them.
NATURE AND ROLE
An essay question is a type of question designed to elicit an answer in the form of an extended argument sustained over a prescribed limit of words. It is normally set in either one of the following forms: several sentences requiring an answer, a

The question is presented in a collection of sentences describing a hypothetical scenario involving parties in situations giving rise to legal rights and liabilities, and requiring for specific legal issues to be addressed in a specific manner. It is made up of two basic components, which are the situation and the instruction. The situation is a long narrative containing facts and details of a sequence of events and references to the disputing parties whereas the instruction is the task to be undertaken for a specific party or parties, usually in the nature of legal advice. Hence, in order for an answer to a legal problem question to be good, it must have addressed all relevant issues presented and applied the relevant laws to them in moving toward a legal solution in closing, all under the conventional writing practices of an academic law problem

I feel that I am a very smart student, or I would not have made it this far; and I already knew the definition of an essay; which is a piece of writing with a point or argument. Yet at the beginning of the semester I had never really given much thought to how many different types of essays there were, and I knew very little about the components that would make these sort of writings a success. However, during the semester I learned that an essay can be written from any perspective, yet it is most commonly written in the view of the first person, or third person.

The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast both an essay and problem question, inform the reader of what techniques are required to answer an essay and problem question, the difference between a problem and essay question and also the different approaches to each question.
