Hello! Could you check it please. Thanks for advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What is your approach to problem-solving, and how does it work for you? Use specific details to support your response. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am a student, and during my study, I was faced with so many problems, and I think I worked out some approaches to problem-solving, such as restate a problem and forget about it for sometime. In my opinion all problems have a way of solving themselves, but sometimes it is hard to do so. For example when it is difficult for me to solve a problem at the first attempt, I usually try to restate a problem, try to overthink it, I call it "to have a fresh look". I try to find another way to solve a problem. In many cases it really helps me. For instance, in our quantum chemistry tasks sometimes a solution becomes apparent when you just translate task from one coordinated system to another: from Cartesian system to spheric system.
Secondly I am convinced that having a break sometimes can also help in handling difficult situation. It is the second way for solving problems which I worked out during a number of difficult situation. What do I mean when I say "to have a break"? During this break, it can be a long break, if it needs to be, I usually try to completely forget a problem. I usually play football, or computer games in order to relax. Afterwards I strive to solve the problem again. For example I usually get a lot of problems in my computer programming class. First of all, I try to find a more general way, more trivial, but our professor usually gives us non-trivial tasks. Of course tasks like these have non-trivial solutions. After a break I eventually can solve even more difficult problems than these.
In order to summarize my ideas I would like to say that I found ways of handling difficult situations which are more convenient for me, but I am sure that everybody should find his or her own ways, in order to do their best in problem-solving. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Not bad Dave, but could have been better.
