Hint 1

Joe has just started the Exploratory Data Analysis unit. He wants to get through it as quickly as possible while still making sure he is prepared to do well on the Checkpoint activity in two weeks. He sees a bunch of text with some activities sprinkled throughout, and is trying to decide how to proceed.

Indicate whether each of the following would likely be an effective and efficient strategy for Joe:

  1. Jump straight to the activities without reading the text. For each activity, select different answer choices to see if they’re right or wrong and read the feedback that appears.




  2. Jump straight to the first activity and if he cannot answer it, go back to the beginning of the unit to read the text.




  3. Jump straight to the activities, and after realizing that he has no idea how to answer the first few, quit and plan to attend recitation that week.




  4. Read the unit straight through from the beginning and do the activities as they come up.




  5. Read the unit straight through from the beginning, but skip the activities.
