20 Problems Only Student Teachers Will Understand

18. Your First Course Essay

This will be easy. By the end of your degree you were flying through the essays with a personal record of three in one day... on deadline day. Granted, it wasn€™t best practice but, like a boxer before a fight, it means your €˜essay muscles€™ are on fire. Besides, it€™s not a €˜real€™ essay, just a short one on an educational practitioner. You€™ll rattle it off and be in the pub with your mates, Trevor and Laura, who are on the supermarket management training scheme, in a matter of minutes. Then you sit. And sit. Maslow. Kolb. Gibson. Hutchins. Bloody Bloom again. A mess of names fly past you. Strange diagrams pierce your soul. The books are piled up beside you. Obviously, you bought them as opposed to going to the library because they will inform the rest of your career. €˜Improving Academic Achievement: Impact of Psychological Factors on Education€™ will be your bible. Then you think €˜sod it€™. Shut the books and fire up Wikipedia. Who were you kidding?
