How does a cultural expert (students in our case) decide whether or not to do an assigned reading for class?
The author discovered that cultural experts dont casually or lightly discard assignments, rather, they mentally ask themselves a serias of questoins:
1. "Will there be a test or quiz on the material?"
2. "Is the reading something that i will need in order to be able to do the homework?"
3. "Will we directly discuss this in class in such a way that i am likely to have to personly and publicly respond or otherwise 'perform' in relation to this reading?"
*If the answer to all of these questions is NO, then don't do the reading.
