1. Explain how expertise is more than knowing a lot.
2. How is instructor empathy connected to motivating the student?
How does it help? What ways can an instructor display empathy?
3. Wlodkowski states, Numerous studies have demonstrated that
when we focus on other people, we embody their emotions (p.71).
a.) Relate the above statement to instruction.
b.) Did you ever have an enthusiastic teacher or the opposite? How
did this make a difference in your learning?
4. Looking ahead, how may Power affect the learning process?
(Critical Consciousness, p.92-93.

I thought this additional resource for module 2 gave a very clear and
brief summary of the chapter.
