All things said and done, I’m pretty happy with my efforts towards the first week in school. When I look at my past grades, I can say without a doubt that I put nearly no effort into studying. Not compared to what I’ve done this first week.

Part of the reason is due to the use of online studying the U of M has implemented. Being able to take quizzes multiple times has made it easier for me to zero in on what I need to study. What’s nice is they only use the highest score on the quiz. Granted, the quiz for Chapter one was due yesterday but I have until September 25th to take the quiz over. And even if I get a perfect score between now and the 25th, it still counts!

So, what the college has done is put emphasis on the effort of learning as much as on outcome.
