We're at that time of the year where students determine 25% of their grade in a single day: the final exam. Logic would tell you that a student should spend a great deal of time studying for that exam, and should work hard in class when a teacher provides time for review.
Yes, logic.
Yet no matter the year, the class, or the school, the vast majority of my students seem to find reviewing a task that they can gaff off because "they'll do fine." In fact, more of them are interested in doing makeup work that affects less than 5% of their total grade than having anything to do with preparing for that final.
Yes, logic.
