Not good E.
This has been a pretty stressful…
This has been a pretty stressful experience so far. Once labs began everything was fine the first two days, but after that it was extremely unorganized. The instructors were not ready to instruct and they let us know that they were just thrown into teaching the labs. The way the labs were set up did not work for our group. We had a bigger group then usual, and the students need to film each other performing the skills taught. For some, English is not their first language and these skills were much harder to pick up and it felt like the the instructors weren't there to help, leaving it to us students to take the time to film the other students and then help teach them the skills which burned so much time and made it so everything could not get filmed. Some groups had four people in it and some skills were 15 mins long. This made the process take forever to film your skill and move on to the next. We did not get everything shown that would be tested within those four days. Which means we had to come back the next week, and some people still didn't finish. Since we all have lives outside of next step and current jobs, which we have to take time off for these labs, made this even more stressful. One of the instructors was very rude to some of the students. Her tone and the way she was talking to us was like talking down to us. Overall this experience so far has been stressful and I am worried when it comes to being state tested. I know my skills, but the steps need to be exact and some skills I only ran through one time. Hopefully it'll all work out and not be a big waste of time.
