(Get the code!)
This is interesting idea but it raises the following issues:
1. What if user types the text and at the end of typing he/she checks check-box. Will he/she noticed the prefix in the input box?
2. If question prefix is added and user deletes part of the QUESTION text e.g. "QUE". Should program take care of deleting the rest of the remaining text?
What ever the solution will be, the best way IMHO is to EXPLAIN to users what will be happening when check-box is checked. I suggest to do something like: when user points mouse over "check-box" and waits for two seconds, there is some text displayed to explain what will happen, something like: "Selecting Question check-box will add QUESTION prefix to the message. Prefix means that you would like to have an answer from lecturer instead of other users participating in session debate."
P.S. I am not an English native speaker, so correct mistakes if any.
