Question

Which tendency is NOT a contributing factor to the student syndrome?

	a.	People realize that once a good or service has been provided, it can be difficult to collect compensation for their efforts.
	b.	High demand people must routinely juggle their schedules to accommodate multiple commitments, which prevents them from addressing tasks with long deadlines.
	c.	People minimize responsibilities with long end-date completions in favor of more immediate critical deadlines.
	d.	People that believe that extra time has been built into an estimate will be demotivated from addressing these commitments early.

Under the student syndrome model, the slope of the percentage completed curve:

	a.	is constant with respect to time.
	b.	decreases as the deadline nears.
	c.	becomes negative as the deadline nears.
	d.	increases as the deadline nears.

If a project activity experiences negative variation:

	a.	the following activity must be started later than anticipated.
	b.	the following activity can be started earlier than anticipated.
	c.	the preceding activity can be started earlier than anticipated.
	d.	the preceding activity must be started later than anticipated.

If a project activity experiences positive variation:

	a.	the variation is usually passed downstream to the immediate follower.
	b.	the variation is usually passed downstream to the most critical activity.
	c.	the variation is usually not passed downstream.
	d.	the following activity usually begins immediately on completion of its predecessor.

Q. a) People realize that once a good or service has been provided, it can be difficult to collect compensation for their efforts.

It is not a contributing factor to student syndrome. Student syndrome is when a person delayed something intentionally and by planned only to do it at the last moment before the deadline ends. It leads to an increase in the stress and pressure level among the people as they try to finish their tasks or work before the deadline.

Hope this helps :)
