I attribute part of the reason Jared did not do so well the first time round to his assuming he knows the rules of probability and therefore exhibiting impatience when I tried to delve further into the theories (last quarter) More often than not he would not do the work required to familiarize himself with the material because of this assumption. His reaction to his test result, though, made him think a bit about this ... and he did do a pretty good job of cooperating in class today to try to improve his grade.
