Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Determining which activities take priority each morning operationalizes the principle of planning. Asking family members to run errands or prepare meals makes use of delegating. Reviewing reasons for going to school with a spouse helps gain support from and collaboration with a significant other. Reserving 3 hours daily for reading, organizing notes, and studying is an example of daily planning. Substituting recreational activity for study time describes failure to implement daily and weekly plans. Delaying complex tasks until a large block of time is available is an example of procrastination. Minitasking would be a better solution.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E
Each of these behaviors focuses on something related to the program of study and thus is a constructive use of learner time. Smoking reduces the flow of oxygen to the brain. Eating a candy bar results in rebound hypoglycemia. Both smoking and eating a candy bar reduce the efficiency of learning and thus are poor uses of time.
