8:01 - Assessment expert Tom Schimmer makes the point that pre-assessment as an advanced version of what has yet to be taught is pointless.
10:39 - Adam Grant observes that schools tend to favor the fastest sprinters (thinking of timed tests), but life functions more like a marathon that rewards learners who ask the right questions.
11:51 - Do you run out of time to finish your lessons? Marcus Luther encourages us to take a deep breath and leave it for the next class - everything is going to be just fine.
