@KevinDJones Not for the patient. #chat2lrn 8:32 AM May 24th via TweetDeck in reply to KevinDJones
@megbertapelle Agree re sims, but sooner or later you've got to actually repair an aortic aneurysm. #chat2lrn 8:31 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to megbertapelle
@KevinDJones I was thinking of, say, surgeons learning OTJ. Some pretty dire failure they'd rather not have. #chat2lrn 8:30 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to KevinDJones
@LnDDave Depends on who you see as learning pros. I've seen dogmatic, top-down, my-way-or-highway folks all over the place. #chat2lrn 8:29 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to LnDDave
@JudithELS I think failure (in less-than-ideal outcome) often inevitable. In medicine we all seek miracles, though. #chat2lrn 8:28 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to JudithELS
"Failure during learning" implies "no excessively harmful consequences." In some cases, that's not possible. #chat2lrn 8:27 AM May 24th via TweetChat
@pattishank Taking pleasure in the misfortune of others. Esp those you think deserve it. ;-) #chat2lrn 8:23 AM May 24th via TweetDeck in reply to pattishank
@pattishank No, a good many people draw considerable GLEE from the failure of others. #chat2lrn 8:20 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to pattishank
"I didn't get a passing score on the test b/c its creator failed to see my job doesn't often involve multiple-guess Qs." #chat2lrn 8:17 AM May 24th via TweetChat
@JD_Dillon I haven't encountered that many clients who enjoy the word "failure," though. They're not crazy about "test," either. #chat2lrn 8:15 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to JD_Dillon
@C_More_Zebras So I failed when I turned left instead of right? #chat2lrn 8:14 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to C_More_Zebras
@JD_Dillon So, it's things to improve, but better to say "places you failed?" #chat2lrn 8:12 AM May 24th via TweetDeck in reply to JD_Dillon
Probably wise to avoid telling our client what his/her terminology means, anyway. #chat2lrn 8:12 AM May 24th via TweetChat
@JD_Dillon Why not? #chat2lrn 8:11 AM May 24th via TweetChat in reply to JD_Dillon
