Quotes from the episode

Human beings make mistakes. We make mistakes as part of learning. We make mistakes just being in the world.

-Jessamyn Neuhaus

Academia generally attracts people with perfectionist tendencies.

-Jessamyn Neuhaus

Sometimes there is no positive outcome when something goes wrong. Sometimes things just get messed up because people are human.

-Jessamyn Neuhaus

Inadvertently we have a subtext that teaching is somehow perfectible. Teaching and learning will never ever be perfectible.

-Jessamyn Neuhaus
