• Probably homework! I started my master’s to be certified to teach secondary school. I’m struggling a bit with:

    • Digest “fuzzy” materials. Lots of text without apparently much solid grounding. Some dude has some theories, writes them down, some other dude iterates them. But at least in the materials I’m provided, there’s not much about how effective they seem to be!

    • Writing essays with unclear directions. Esp. because right now at the beginning I’m asked to draw from personal experiences from 30 years ago. I get the same impression that I get in certain kinds of assignments in searching jobs- the person who has written the exercise has not done it, or is not describing properly what they expect to get.

    But well, likely this is the initial shock, I’ll get used to it, and I’ll learn something.
