How did Garrett resolve a conflict with his first instructor?

• A. He asked for a different instructor after concerns about feedback
• B. He stayed with the same instructor
• C. He quit
• D. He complained to the program director without change

Answer: (A)

When feedback isn’t helping your learning, the best move is to speak up and seek a solution that better supports your progress. Garrett chose to address the issue directly by requesting a different instructor after concerns about the feedback. This shows proactive communication and a commitment to effective learning: if the instruction style or feedback approach isn’t helping you improve, proposing a change can reconnect you with a mentor whose style aligns better with your needs.

Staying with the same instructor can prolong frustration and stall growth because the mismatch remains unresolved. Quitting ends the learning opportunity, cutting off potential progress. Complaining to the program director without taking a concrete next step can feel unproductive and may not lead to the change you need.
