Question 2

Professor Chadwick is young and looks even younger than his years. He dresses in jeans, grubby tennis shoes, and Hawaiian print shirts. One day in the hallway, he strikes up a conversation with a student.

During the conversation, the student begins to complain about the poor teaching of the faculty in the department and about the bad things he's heard about the course that Professor Chadwick teaches. Needless to say, when the student finds out he was actually talking to a professor, he feels embarrassed and avoids Professor Chadwick. What is the moral of this story?

a. Students should be seen and not heard.
b. Schemas may make us efficient, but sometimes at a cost in accuracy.
c. Heuristics make us more efficient, but only if we apply them to schemas.
d. The world would be a better place if people abandoned their schemas altogether.
