EDF 6215: Homework 2
Question, Answer & Tips Page

Question: 

Answer:


 TIP: Sometimes students fail to personalize their responses to this assignment.  Instead, they generalize and make sweeping statements about problem solving in general.  This allows students to distance themselves from the material (which decreases opportunity for learning) and assumes we are all the same (an assumption that I find hard to believe).


TIP: The stages are set up in a manner that suggests there is not resolution at the first stage.  If there is resolution at the first stage, then there is no problem.  This becomes a semantic argument.  The best stance to take (in terms of this assignment) is to assume that a problem is something that does not have an immediate answer.

TIP: The unconscious is a slippery beast.  Remember, if you are aware of something, then by definition it is not in the unconscious.  However, things can move from the unconscious to the conscious (and back again!).

TIP: Unlike school teachers, your boss will never concern him/her self with your self-esteem.
