Discussion Leader Chapter 6 Mr. Pesavent

1. Why is time management so important in college?

Time management is important in college because it allows students to have freetime during the day. If students do not manage their time wisely, they won't have enough time to finish their assignments, study for exams, or hang out with their friends. Effective time management can also help stress from building up because each student knows what they have in store for them each week.

2. Why is course scheduling so important?

According to the book, course scheduling is considered an art that must be mastered in order for it to be the most effective. There are multiple things to keep in mind when registering for classes. On page 113, Nathan wrote that the times that each class takes place is the most important thing to remember while registering for classes. In the group's opinion, we think that the quality of the professor is considered before the time of the class. Course scheduling is important because it helps with time management and can really make or break a student's semester.


3. Why do students skip class as much as they do?

Many students skip class for numerous reasons. These reasons include the weather, how tired the student is, importance of the class, what they are going to do during the class, to do homework, to sleep, and many more. Most students who skip feel they can do well in a class whether they skip or not. Most professors do not have very big consequences for students who miss class.

4. Why is cheating so common in college?

Cheating is common in college because it is very easy to do and is very rewarding. In the chapter, Nathan declares behaviors such as working on assignments together and signing friends in on attendance is cheating. Our group disagrees and does not consider those as cheating. Many people cheat in order to do well and to earn a better GPA. Other students do it because the test was written unfairly or just to check their answers with people around them.
