Complexity


Thinking about assignments, about syllabi, about designing - when is it just too complicated? When are there too many steps? When does the message get bogged down in unnecessary layers of directions, suggestions, examples? Things intended to be helpful, to provide guidance for the learner can have opposite effect. 

For me, my goal is this: Making Rube Goldberg Devices is fun; Being a Rube Goldberg Device is not.
