Making Sense out of Nothing
As an instructor we are sometimes given information that does not make sense even to us. But we are to give this information to the students and when things go wrong how do we fight to come back or lose our credibility. There is frustration on both sides and through it all you must keep yourself together and get through the course. Working ahead to identify problems is good because it can allow you to correct them and maybe get some other type of material to help your students through this portion of the course. What would be some other suggestions?
Hi Kina,
Do what is required of you. Conformity is key! Trying talking to someone of higher authority when things do not make sense to you.

I couldn't agree more. I speak with my program director almost daily about things. Although he joked that next Halloween I should go dressed as a large question mark, I know he respects my openness and willingness to learn and adapt.
I understand about the questions as I find myself asking questions over and over again myself. But I will keep on trying to make things clearer.
Thanks.
Hi Kina,
Students are going to have questions; it is inevitable. As instructors we have to have great patience and do all we can to continue to provide clarity.
