Why Aiming for A is Better Than A+

Описание: An optimizing approach says that learning everything perfectly is impossible.
How Optimizing Worksby investing more time on critical details and less time on unimportant ones you can get a better grade with less time invested.
Isn’t All Information Important?
1. Identify the testing bias.
2. Quality of Time Spent Ratio
Example: Your running out of time and you have three projects to do. The first is worth 5% of your grade and you expect 2 hours to get the grade you want. The second is worth 20% and you expect 15 hours to get the grade you want. The third is worth 30% and you expect 10 hours to get the grade you want. Your quality ratio’s are:

* Project One: 5%/2 =2.5%
* Project Two: 20%/15 =1.33%
* Project Three: 30%/10 =3%

3. Reading Emphasis
4. What’s the point?
Use this question as a shorthand for prioritizing what needs to be learned. The beauty of this method is that most instructors give you the course purpose on the first day. You don’t even have to look for it!
5. Cutting Classes and Skipping Chapters
utting out entire assignments, classes or chapters is normally a bad move in a school setting. Usually the marginal benefit of just showing up exceeds reinvesting the time elsewhere. Instead, most your optimization is about where to place extra time.
