You brought up an interesting point Gene.
I have found, personally, that I'm a "test taker". I can study the
subject, take and pass the test. But, unfortunately, I also
discovered that if left on my own, I didn't know how to apply what I
learned. This applied many facets of my life.
I needed to be shown step by step how to apply what I learned and what
to do if it didn't work. This gave me confidence in doing the job and
eliminated any fears I might have of failure.
When ever I had the above instruction, I became very successful in
doing it.
So I'm wondering, were those students shown how to apply strategies
and what to do if it doesn't work?
TIA,
Dominick
