There is no harm in summarizing lessons and formulating them as questions, as this helps students and saves time and effort. This is not considered an injustice to others, as it is available to everyone and is not the only path to success. However, for the teacher to dictate the answers to the questions to students during an exam is clear and impermissible cheating.
