As part of [TBL’s 4S framework](https://learntbl.ca/4s/), application exercises ask students to make a specific, constrained choice, but that doesn’t always make the solution clear-cut. For many students, uncertainty still lingers, and that can be unsettling. At the same time, ambiguity is an essential part of preparing students to think critically and make thoughtful decisions in real-world situations.

## **Which student reaction to uncertainty do you most want to learn how to address?**

Students are uncertain the steps they can take to resolve uncertainty. Which resources can they use for gaining insight, knowledge, or judgment relevant to a specific uncertainty? Which uncertainties remain uncertain and do not have a “best” answer even for experts?
