Short journal · Original editorial · A kinder measure of progress
A practice session tries to improve five skills at once.
Progress can be described without making every attempt a score. Choose a feature you can inspect and compare it with an earlier attempt in a fair context. A changed method, a clearer question, or a useful limit may matter more than speed.
Choose one feature to watch in the next attempt.
A short note can preserve what happened: the setting, the change, and one observation. Avoid claiming more than the attempt showed.
