didn't make more obscure. exactly. just... full of words...
this is why the book I've actually bought is the A-Z. Too many words! I kept the library copy as long as they'd let me and had fines when it went back. Now my own one is ordered but not here yet. /detour
I think I need to read more. Or possibly just to start at the beginning. again. All those words look familiar but I don't think they stuck properly when I read them. Too many in a row and nothing to stick them to.
Also, starting unit 2, teach mentioned 'functionalism' and then went on to say something like 'but you won't know what that is yet, because I didn't know social theory was on the list for unit 1' which is, um, slightly unhelpful.
(the structure of all the Access courses has been completely redone this year, and everyone is a bit lost. including lack of knowing what units we'll be doing next, because no one has invented them yet. we're having to go with the flow a lot.)
Socratic? Like Socrates, Mr 'I drank what?' arguing leads to hemlock? ;)
its a learning styles meets teaching styles problem, is all. eventually, if I turn my notes around enough, knowledge fits into my head.
Bill: Socrates - "The only true wisdom consists of knowing you know nothing". Ted: That's us, dude.
Bill & Ted - timeless truths ;)
I reckon by the end of the course I'll have a toolbox of methods, a vocabulary of words, and a whole bunch of theories with all kinds of useful. All good. But the getting there frequently leaves me confuzzled.
thanks :) and, um, hope I'm not being too annoying.
