A Learning Experience

The money saved by restoring this equipment was not the only reward. An added bonus was that the laboratory operator had become throughly familiar with his equipment. Sources of future malfunctioning could be quickly located and repair would be inexpensive and fast. This would save both money and costly down-time in the future. 

Even if he does not do all the work himself, a true handyman is a valuable member of the laboratory staff. He is able to spot the source of a problem and suggest repair methods. He is also able to come up with better ideas for handling laboratory modification or expansion.

This incident shows how much we can learn from a simple event if we treat it as a learning experience and do not say, No one was hurt, and there was no damage, so let s forget about it. ... 

My philosophy has always been that you learn from what you don t understand. Evolution comes from the darkness, not the light. So this has been a learning experience for me. The cup is half full for me. Always has been. Although I do have days when it s half empty. 

In the event of relapse, patients often cycle through the detoxification (depending on the duration and intensity of the relapse) and rehabilitation phases of treatment. However, they should be advised that a relapse does not necessarily mean they are starting over and they need not feel too disheartened. Instead, a relapse can be viewed as a learning experience. The circumstances that led to the relapse can be reviewed, identified, and utilized for the development of better strategies to prevent subsequent relapses. 

Each exposure to the mushroom was a learning experience with an unexpected conclusion. Three of us were ready to become alchemical children, ready to strip down and climb into the sophic fountain and take the measure of the thing from the inside. 

For companies having multiple plant sites, it can be useful to staff the audit team with competent people from other sites. In this way, the audit process can provide an outside perspective and a learning experience for the audit team members.

The team s expertise should be compatible with the kind of audit to be conducted. Audits of certain programs may require the selection of specialists in electrical equipment, pressure vessels, maintenance, motor fleet activities, and other fields. Line managers of other units are excellent members of audit teams. They bring a different background to spot weaknesses. In addition, participation is a learning experience for the manager and increases the involvement of those responsible for results. It may also be helpful to have a previous auditor of the unit as one member of the audit team. 

When the former occurs, the relationship may reach a new level because you have both faced a problem and overcome it together. This builds intimacy, which might lead to deeper fulfillment in a relationship. The parties previously in conflict can look at the conflict as a learning experience. 

Not the papers that reported the discovery and characterization of the phosphohistidine, but the ones that said we thought it was an intermediate in oxidative phosphorylation. That was a learning experience. But I perhaps tend to move ahead to the next possibility more readily than many scientists do. If you want to finish off a research project, make sure that everything seems right in that area, document everything, and so forth, you may never get to the next important aspect.

The ASLE instrument includes 14 Likert scale items a summary of the statements is presented in Table 1. Twelve of the statements probe students perceptions of aspects of the experiment (such as interest, skill development, guidance from notes and demonstrators, and improved understanding of chemistry) the remaining two items concern the time available for the experiment, and ask for an overall rating of the experiment as a learning experience. In addition, the instrument includes five open-response items, which arc ...

Textbooks, by their very nature, are limited in what they can provide to the reader in terms of diversity of topic and depth of coverage. The coverage of Reviews in Computational Chemistry is very wide in scope. Moreover, we publish in-depth, didactic chapters that are more highly focused on an important computational method than comparable chapters found in encyclopedias or in traditional textbooks. We want this series to be a learning experience for both the novice modeler who has a basic comprehension of f)hysical chernsitry as well as for seasoned professionals who may be working in academia or industry and need to leain a new method quickly to solve a problem. 

Scholarly written chapters enabling a learning experience to both experts and non-experts whenever they would like to enhance their knowledge or build it from the scratch the chapters have been conceived in such a way to be readable individually or altogether by following the book table-of-contents. 

While as a technique, CE is stiU in a state of evolution, it is clear from this Hterature that it has a futirre in analysis of substances from complex matrices, such as food. Part of adaptation to CE is a learning experience. Since CE is an electrophoretic technique, while elution times may vary more than that of HPLC, mobihties should be a constant under defined conditions. Reporting the effective sample mobHity will give good reproducibihty in a well optimized system [67, 83, 84]. The situation of area reproducibility was addressed by those who reported quantitative data by the use of an internal standard, in many cases [70, 77, 82]. 

The authors are superbly qualified to treat their subject and they have made significant contributions to the field. While the editor s assignment was not always easy, it was always a learning experience and a pleasure because he felt that in a small way he was contributing to an important scientific undertaking. 

Of course, there will always be some unpredictable aspects of interviewing. But you ve probably had to think on your feet many times. Try to think of the interview as a learning experience.

As we began to develop the inclusive leadership series, we asked employees to identify leaders behaviors that affected whether they felt included, engaged, and valued. A number of situations were identified (on and off the job) in which employees personally experienced exclusion. Based on this input, we decided to create a learning experience in which leaders could better understand the impact of exclusive behavior on achieving organizational results. We determined that engagement, retention, and satisfaction are all directly related to the quality of the relationship with the supervisor or team leader. As a result, we felt that an actionplanning component, which helps the leader incorporate inclusive behaviors into work practices and processes, was needed.
