STEP 1: Imagine that one of your best friends is struggling with his classes. He aspires to
graduate in exercise science and go on to earn a degree in occupational therapy, but he failed
his first two chemistry exams. He's feeling nervous about his performance and comes to you
for advice. During your discussion, you learn that:
• he gets easily frustrated

while working on chemistry problems after approaching them
the way he has always approached problems in his other classes
• he is sleeping less than five hours a night
he works on chemistry homework every Tuesday and Thursday night, but not on other
days
• he always keeps his phone on vibrate to check if he gets messages while he studies
he usually studies by re-reading the chapter
he pulls all-nighters before exams
