Also, go back and read the instructions, in detail, out loud. Even type or write them out. Sometimes you'll have a real 'Aha!' moment as one of our students did recently and many of you probably have done as well. Her problem was, she hadn't read the instructions carefully enough yet. When she did, there was no problem. POOF!
Do you remember thinking: "This is too hard. Impossible! Only someone with a heavy medical background could do it, so...I quit!." In probably more than a few cases Glenda has asked the student to read the instructions. When he/she did, the problem didn't even exist! The instructions said, "Don't do this part until the advanced modules of the course." Sound familiar? I'm pretty sure quite a few of you did that and said that toward the beginning of the course.
It's amazing how we (I myself in particular) make things harder than they really are. SMH. Yes, I sure do. :)
