Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is because the students are overconfident in their ability to complete the assignment within a certain time frame, leading them to underestimate the actual amount of time it will take. The framing effect and availability heuristic are not directly related to this phenomenon, while an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem and is not applicable in this scenario.
