“In Kim’s chem class the professor assigned
|
|
|
challenge problems worth extra credit, but
|
|
each week Kim couldn’t do them and
|
|
|
asked for help. The teacher said, ‘Don’t
|
|
|
give up, attempt the problem again each
|
|
|
day.’ Kim followed the advice and was
|
|
|
eventually able to solve the problems.”

Abstracting from the situation: A good
|
|
|
problem-solving technique is to return later
|
|
|
to a problem.
