What is complex understanding? How is it different from just doing it?
Just doing it: Learning is not copying/writing down exactly what the teacher is saying and calling it a day. Learning is also not copying from your peers and doing things just simply to get a good grade.
Complex Understanding: Understanding something is being able to know the information you are taught. IF you see yourself getting good grades in class, but flacking when it comes to pop quizzes or tests, this is a sign that you are not understanding what you learning. Not only can this be a cause to unsatisfied students, but a reason you might be struggling in a class.
