  4. what skills do you have to check off on?

  12. Do you correct your professor?

    It depends on the learning environment. At my school, the professors (except 1) are very receptive to being corrected. Most of the time they just misspeak, and a student clarifies what they were...
  13. does a bad check ruin everything?

    That's great news! It's too bad they can't just look at it though, you know? I'm kind of worried about the school's critical thinking skills on this one. I can't see how this would impact patient...
