I am even more convinced today that such is true.   We all have unique ways of learning.  Some become quite proficient, even though they may not jump through all the hoops "correctly".</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=110231104-03112007>les bartlett</SPAN></FONT></DIV><BR> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> <HR tabIndex=-1> <FONT face=Tahoma size=2><B>From:</B> caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] <B>On Behalf Of </B>Willem Blees<BR><B>Sent:</B> Friday, November 02, 2007 10:38 PM<BR><B>To:</B> caut@ptg.org<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: [CAUT] CAUT credential vs. academic program?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV> <DIV></DIV><BR><BR> <DIV style="CLEAR: both">-----Original Message-----<BR>From: Jeff Tanner <jtanner@mozart.sc.edu><BR>To: College and University Technicians <caut@ptg.org><BR>Sent: Fri, 2 Nov 2007 10:40 am<BR>Subject: Re: [CAUT] CAUT credential vs. academic program?<BR><BR></DIV> <DIV id=AOLMsgPart_2_9ce75cc1-9762-457e-80bd-1cfe4bb93820><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT><BR> <DIV> <DIV>On Nov 2, 2007, at 3:38 PM, Willem Blees wrote:</DIV><BR class=Apple-interchange-newline> <BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; orphans: 2; widows: 2">You can also check out a book on how to tune your own piano, or do open heart surgery.<SPAN class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR><BR> <DIV> <DIV>Wim</DIV></DIV></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR> <DIV>And some people learn well that way and become quite proficient.  Others don't.</DIV> <DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV> <DIV>Jeff<BR><BR>In that case, remind me not to have you operate on my heart. :)<BR><BR>Wim </DIV></DIV> <DIV class=AOLPromoFooter> <HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px"> Email and AIM finally together.
