When eating an Elephant take one bite at a time
Omfg there’s so much paperwork here to be read wads of it .I’m trying to wade through it but its flooding in through my eyes and out through my ears do this don’t do this acronyms why can’t anyone just type the damn meaning of the words ,it’s cold and unfriendly .I don’t expect hugs from the course just clarity. Do I need to read it all now, am I better picking through it as required?
I’m worried about the upcoming assignments, my subject is a craft, based the levels of observation and assessment could be a challenge. My learners achieve a great deal on my course .I try to encourage them but as un-accredited course people come because they’re interested in learning a skill, but in general have no desire to gain a qualification .I’m worried if I make the class more academic the class will lose retention. So much paranoia so little time into the course. The teaching is largely one to one the actual speaking to the class as a whole is mercifully little. I’m concerned that unlike a language lesson where question and answer sessions are the meat of the lesson my efforts to aid learners on a one to one basis will seem or be insufficient.
