Hey Weiran, I just read your blog about the difficulties of learning. Your connection to how learning can be difficult based on our preconceived prejudices was very interesting to read about. It also brought a more personal note to your post when you showed the example of different time zones being a barrier for learning. This reminded me of trying to learn a new language. Many people, including myself, are hesitant to start learning a new language due to the high degree of difficulty. With the appropriate motivation, it can become easier with time but it’s getting started and diving in that is the biggest issue. How do you think, as instructors, we can be more open to students that may have difficulty accessing that motivation and are hesitant to learn? Something to think about for sure! Thanks for posting, Ashlyn.
