I know as a current student that most of us complain about too much theory, too little practice. While I do want to understand the theory, I also want to be able to perform confidently in a clinical setting, which requires hands-on skills practice. I'd love to see a little bit more skill taught to help students better understand why they need to know the concepts. That's when learning comes to life! BTW, I like your insistence on certitude...I could use some lessons in it???? ;)Karen https://www.blogger.com/profile/12696397869727711013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14772999.post-8531712829595478612007-07-21T04:13:00.000-04:002007-07-21T04:13:00.000-04:00Hi Chris,Nice to see you back blogging.
