It makes me angry when the instructor provides open-ended statements and expects me to provide the correct answer." b."I'm so pleased with myself. I did well on the examination in spite of the unfairness of the instructor. He's a nice person, but it was I who straightened the situation out. But on the other hand, he did sit and listen to me when I complained. A funny person he is." c."How do you expect me to handle role-playing, a skill I don't even understand? I've read the book three times and still it isn't clear. I've tried, but I am just so confused in this course."
