One of the factors affecting in learning is making the students active in teaching activities.

Students were randomly designated into two groups. Students in group one were asked to prepare at least four multiple questions for each even session and students in group two were asked to prepare as least four multiple questions for each odd session. Therefore, each student had prepared questions from half of the sessions. The exam questions were prepared through the lecturer. The scores of the students, from the sessions which they had prepared question were compared with the scores of the sessions that they had not prepared question.Results: The scores of the students from the sessions that they had prepared question (84.7%) were higher than the ones that they had not prepared question (61.5%) (P
