It is often done by students in preparation for upcoming exams, especially just before they are due. Usually the student's priority is to obtain shallow recall suited to a superficial examination protocol, rather than to internalize the deep structure of the subject matter. Cramming is often discouraged by educators because the hurried coverage of material tends to result in poor long-term retention of material, a phenomenon often referred to as the spacing effect. jock = in the United States and Canada, a jock is a stereotype of an athlete, or someone who is primarily interested in sports and sports culture, and does not take much interest in intellectual culture.[1][2] It is generally attributed mostly to high school and college athletics participants who form a distinct youth subculture. As a blanket term, jock can be considered synonymous with athlete.[3] Jocks are usually presented as practitioners of team sports such as football, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and hockey. Similar words that may mean the same as jock (in North America) include meathead, musclebrain, and musclehead.[4] These terms are based on the stereotype that a jock is muscular but not very smart, and cannot carry a conversation on any topic other than one relating to sports and exercise. "Jocks" is also a slang term used by the English and Welsh to refer to Scots (src: wikipedia) to what extent = used to show how far sth is true or how great an effect it has wart = small hard lump that grows on your skin and that is caused by a virus assiduous = (formal) working very hard and taking great care that everything is done as well as it can be; diligent In At that age he dreamt of being a writer As For me I didn't have such experience as this guy I would give an advice advise to study all the subjects because you don't know what subjects would you will need later Having a diploma doesn't mean you will find a job quicker as than the one a person who has skills For To my surprise, students think cheating is... ]]> 20201117 16:40-18:00 2 active Cramming for higher education By the end of this session you will have studied Download onto your tablet or print the following pdf for our next lesson.
