This made me giggle 👍 Hope you didn't put that is his eval 😉I don't care about looks. But damn it is frustrating to work with students who have poor communication skills. I had one (who was hot BTW) who tried and was earnest and all but had to revise his notes and recs a minimum of 3 times bc they were unintelligible. I didn't sign up for precepting to teach remedial communication to doctoral students. Ugh.
I've been pretty lucky I must say, but there have definitely been things that I assigned to students that would have taken 1/4 the time had I just done it myself in the first place. That's what people don't realize about precepting. That's where the huge time commitment comes into play.
Let's talk a minute about typos. I cannot get over the typos in materials that are presented for grade. Guys, guys, really. Proofread, for the love. Is the importance of that not taught anymore?
Yep. I feel like apologizing every day as a student. I don't have years of experience to be good and fast at it, years of experience for clinical judgement, and finally I have to put more out there than is required when writing a soap or explaining something as that is generally expected of students so that they show they know why they are doing something. If you've forgotten, it sucks to be on the other end as well 😳
