The Psychology of Learning - Essay Example

For somebody who juggles study time and work time like me, I believe I deserve a chance to be given an A in your class. Being able to learn in school and work at the same time is the best opportunity that has been given to me.  

Grades are determined according to how students do well in class. Undoubtedly, my teachers do a great deal of job in providing us, the students, appropriate grades that we deserve based on a given criteria. Everyone is aware that the list of criteria includes, but is not limited to, class attendance and test results.  I do not deny the fact that my responsibilities at work have kept me from attending class a few times. Not only have I been able to miss the lectures, but I sometimes miss quizzes as well. On the other hand, not being physically present in class means I am intellectually incapable of doing what other students in class are capable of performing and understanding. Moreover, I also take extra credits in class in order to make up for those times I have missed class. Although I have been passionate about learning and understanding the things that are being taught in class, my test results do not show so. However, these test results are just fragments of what I have learned about the subject.
