That’s okay really, because we know that to learn is to be confused, uncertain and to fail frequently (McWilliam, 2008). This does not mean that you will fail the course, but that in learning and learning to learn, there are processes of trial and error, of getting things wrong on the way to getting them right, of feeling discombobulated because what you thought was true has been challenged. This is the purpose of attending university – to develop deeper and more nuanced understandings of the world.</blockquote> Permalink:
