Task: Real-Life Creative Problem Solving
Come up with an original and creative solution for the following real-world problem:
Clara, a junior pre-med student, is working part-time and taking a 15 hour credit load at school. Clara enjoys her pre-med courses very much, but they are very difficult and time consuming. Her current job as a 'gopher' at an architectural design firm requires her to work 25 hours a week which really cuts into her available study time.  In fact, she is barely getting 'C's' in two of the classes she needs for her major. The pay in her present job is good, and she enjoys the work, although she is not getting a lot of practical experience. Clara does not want to drop any of her classes as she needs them to graduate so that she can be admitted to medical school in the coming year. She also knows that she needs good grades to be admitted to medical school. Up until now, Clara has been able to work at her job and still get good grades, but the difficult courses she is taking now require much more of her time. Clara is not sure how to solve her problem..

Response: Quit your job and focus on school.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Talk with boss about cutting back hours, or quit altogether since getting no "practical experience". Get job more related to medicine. Get a tutor.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara should drop the difficult class and retake it later to keep up her grades for medical school.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: If she is poor to go to medical school, she have to work at the firm instead of going to school.     If she is rich, she should quit the firm and then try to get a good grade. Architectural design is not related to medical school. She should give up one of two works. It is a realistic way to achieve her goal.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara needs to communicate to her employer that her school is suffering, therefore she needs less hours.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara should talk to her employer and explain to them that school is her number 1 priority. Since her job has nothing to do with the medical field she should either find a job within her field or cut back her hours working there and ask her parents for financial help.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara should go to her boss and ask to cut her hours in half. If that does not work out she will need to quit work and concentrate on school. Her grades for her pre-med status are more important than working at a job that will not give her experience in the medical field. If money is the issue, which is not stated above, then I suggest additional student loans. The way I see it is that medical school is going to require her full attention and there will be no room for work during that time anyways. The only other option she has is to try and get a part time job in a hospital that allows her more flexibility, field experience and a paycheck.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: If I knew a little more about her daily routines I could answer better but being in med school one has lots of terms to know so first put them on flash card. She should wake 15 mins early and reveiw her cards. between classes same thing and lunch break from work or school  review again. By repeatly studying the list spread out has shown the brain comprehens better than cramming. Bottom line keep list handy! It would take to much xtra out of her day but will take a chunck out of her study and that time she can use to study the material not the terms.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: study habits
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: managing her time to study
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Clara will just have to manage her time throughout a day in order to find time to study. She may have to ask for a new work schedule that would consider her school hours and study hours. By putting school first her problem can be fixed and she would still have money in her pocket.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: i would suggest that clara reduce her working hours so that she has more tme avaibale to study..  the working expereince is good but her schooling is more important, therefore she must personally set her priorities straight... she could still work during the week, but she might consider working much less to get better grades in the future.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara needs to work on her time management skills. Maybe keeping track of her time by using a weekly planner would help a lot.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: She should try to make extra alone time, when she is over work to study more on her courses.Or even make flash cards and take a look at them before and after work and even between her classes.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: She should try to cut her work load and put in applications for other jobs in her field of study.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: If Clara is able to quit her job and still be able to meet her financial obligations she should, however if she can't she should try to decrease her hours at work, or find a job that will be more accommodating to her school schedule.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: First, Clara should explain the situation to management at her firm, maybe there is some flex-time Clara can work out. Maybe, there is a less stressful position that she could hold or maybe she could swap shifts with a coworker that wants more hours. If none of those are options she should consider reducing her work load. If she can't live without the income she should consider dropping one class.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: If it is at all possible she needs to quit her job.  School comes beofre work especially since her job has no relation to her major.  if that is not possible she could bring her study materials to work and study them on her break, keep flashcards in her pockets and test herself whenever there is down time, keep notes on cell phone and read them whenever possible. Also she could record lectures and put them onto her ipod and listen to them to keep familiar with the material.  Little things to keep her mind focused at work on her studies will keep her thinking about school.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: she should work less
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Clara needs to think about what is most important to her and consider the "long term" rather than the "short term" . Maybe she could cut some of her hours at the job in exchange for study time or take less units in excahge for graduating later.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara is a busy student as well as a part time worker. I suggest that she works in between class breaks. In addition, best way to work around her classes is to work before her day starts with class or after school when she's finally done with classes. Therefore, when she gets home, she can use her time to work on her homework/ assignments. She must make sure her schedule doesnt conflict with her sleep, daily routine as well as family time. So she must make sure she follows a routine that's best suitable for her. For instance, Clara has class at 10 a.m, she will work the few hours from 7:30 am-9:30 am if she choose then use the 30 mins int between to get to class in time and relax for a bit. Lets say she's done for the day at 5 pm. She will work 5 p.m-8 p.m. Therefore, out of the 5 days a week of school, she is already getting approximately 25 hrs. In addition, she may also work weekends. Thus, she can rearrange the hours and adjusting the hours around to suit her best when it comes down to tough weeks such as preparations for exams etc and lastly, she will have enough time at night to finish her homework and half days of her weekends with family and friends.     Best option I would do if school offers her required classes in a two or three days a week, take that and she'll be happier than attending a 5 school days. Clara can then manage more free time and less stress on how to come up with money for GAS!
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: The first questions to ask is, does Clara have to work? It sounds like she works because she enjoys it and the pay is good, but is there another support system she can use? If not, then my suggestion is that she ask her boss if she can study during any "down time" that she may have. I used to work at a place where whenever I had the chance I was able to work on homework. Sacrificing is part of the game, her grades are very important, so if it comes between having "extra money" or going to med school, she needs to decide which one is more important.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara should study harder, and manage her time better. She was obviously getting good grades before, so if she manages her time better, including organizational skills this will help her overall grades
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: stay at work since she has to do both and she enjoys it.not everyone has a job they enjoy..just make time during breaks and schedule breaks intentionally so she can have time for herself to go to the library to study.hard work and sacrafices pay off.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara can record her professors lectures and while she is doing the errands her job requires, she can listen to the lectures multiple times to reinforce the information she must learn.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Clara could explain her situation to her boss and request fewer hours a week, perhaps only 20.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara should find a different job that is more flexible with her school hours. School is the most important thing in her life right now and even if she has to suffer a pay cut she should find a way to focus more on school to ensure she gets good grades.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara can carry pocket-sized flashcards and review in her spare moments. She can also form a song based on her notes and sing it eveywhere she goes.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: If I were Clara I would take a leave of absence from her job and focus mainly on her schooling.  If she is unable to take a leave of absence it may be better to find another similar job or ask for fewer hours in the meantime.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: She needs to speak up at work and explain about her situation.  She should focus less on being a gopher and more on her medical school.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: her only solution is for her to quit her job and spent more time studing for the class she is doing bad on
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Clara can put some of her school infomation on an audio recording. There are also textbook downloads that you can purchase for MP3 players. Since she is a gopher, that usually requires running around. She can listen to her information as she is doing her work.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Quit her job
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: What alternatives for employment in the medical field are available for Clara in her community, working at a large hospital as a 'gopher' or related tech position with more flexible hours. swing or graveyards, than continuing in an unrelated field. Of the classes she is taking are there any on-line equivalents that would provide flexibility with her work schedule. Could a paid internship ( research stipends, scholarships)provide $ and additional experience/recomendations for med school?  Could she connect to a support group of other pre-med students to tutor and work collectively? Speak with and/or develop a mentor relationship with a first year med school student and ask how they solved this problem?  Talk with faculty as to thier solutions.  What are the requirements for the med schools of her choice? GPA, GRE,?
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: Clara should ask her employer if she can work few hours during her shift. Maybe she can look for another position where she works at that doesn't have much of a work load for her. If she wants to get better grades for her classes she can use the time during her lunch break or times that she doesn't have much work to study and catch up on her studies.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: MAke sure to arrange time before bed to look over your notes or do some reading, since the brain will retain the knowledge better before going to sleep. Also be sure to look over the notes to all of your classes later the same day to further implant that new information into the brain and not have to study so hard beforea test since you will have retained most of the knowledge in your long-term memory. Above all else, make sure your getting at least 7 hrs of sleep. If your not awake for classes and can comprehend the material, that will just leave more studying for you later on.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: I would advise clara to have a schedule and always carry a book or notecards to study inbetween customers or free minutes. She can have post it or posters in her desk to remind her of some terms when she looks there.she can do it all as long as she is willing to do  it. She can have her classes plan out to fit her work schedule and have night to study.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: I believe the best thing for Clara to do is try to decrease her work hours. Work less hours and focus on more studying. If not save as much money as she can, and find a different job that requires less hours for her.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Im not to creative but can be practical. Clara is not gaining much besides money from her job. She is not getting experience that will benefit in the long run. It is best that she quit her job so she can get her grades up in the classes she needs.Good grades in her classes is more important than her job that is irrelevant to her goals. She should work on getting her grades and possibly getting involved as a volunteer, intern or possibly a job that is relevant and would be benficial to her in the long run.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: ask for less hours or bring your textbook to work to study when you have free time, seduce your boss into giving you less hours and the same pay...just kidding
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: Clara can take her homework or school notes to work and when she has a break she can study or work on homework.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: time management
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Clara should definately quit the job. She should get a desk job where she will not be so loaded with work and get get studying done at work. She should also cut her hours in half.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: i would say she needs to stay focused and positive and really organized her time more efficently.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: I suggest to Clara to break down her school schedule and work schedule, by not bulking everything together. Make goals such as one day focusing most on one class then the other day another class and so on. With work she should take the weekends off and focus on studying for tests during the weekend if she has any coming up in the next week. And if she doesn't then I suggest she gets ahead in her school work and therefore she will be able to lighten her load during the week hopefully.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Try to find a way to combine studying for her classes and be at work at the same time.  Maybe take material from the classes and apply it to things at her job.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara should realize that her education is first than her work. Although her work might be needed to pay for her expenses. During the time left after work and school, Clara should work on her homework. Study if possible in her job and definitely on the weekends. If school work drops, then working might not be the best option.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: She should cut down on her hours at work in order to focus on her studies and getting better grades
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Cut back on hours at work
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: request to work less hours
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: I would suggest her to take a leave of absence in her job, her education is more important and will benefit her in the long run.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: If I was Clara, I would find ways to read or study at work or to incorporate what im studying into my daily life experiences. Sometimes a little time here and a little time there can get you more study time. If the grades continued to drop or failed to raise, I would find another job at a health center or a job more ralted to ehat she's studying because there you will find people who can give you all the help you need.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Depending on her life situation the job is the point at where she can be flexible. If Clara is working for the experience and not to survive, she should politely ask for either less time or time off. Asking for less time on the job so that she can concentrate on school would be better to do than to risk getting ahead in life because of "ok" grades. She would have to ask herself if doing an "ok" job in class will benefit her for medical school in the long run. More than likely the answer is no, so requesting time to devote more attention to school would be a better way of solving her dilemma.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara should consider looking into another job field. She can ask to work less hours in order to achieve the better grades. Its hard to work and go to school at the same time,however education is more valuable because in the end you will get that rewarding career you always wanted.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: I would say that Clara needs to sit down with her employer and discuss this problem she has. If they are understanding then she should cut back on her hours just til these hard times are over and then return when all things are better. If they are not understanding, then I suggest that she find a job that has less hours and maybe in the medical field where she can be hands on with her major and get her foot in the door early. This can also be on her application for med school. School comes before work in the long run it will pay off.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: she should drop the amount of work hours and focus on school because the outcome of getting good grades and getting into medical school is her future and therfore more important than working for a job that is "fun". fun is great but it is not going get her to where she wants to be in life
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara needs to work less time to make time for the most important thing in her life which is her education. Since the job she has doesn't teach her very much she needs to ask her boss for a cut on her hours and if it's not possible she needs to tell her boss she if she can quit now and continue working after she has finished her classes.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: quit the job, take out loan money, and concentrate on grades!
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: stop working
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: If there is any way that she can organize her schedule to where she goes to school 2 days a week and works the other 3, and then she could have the weekends and time after work and school to focus on school.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Clara should resine from her current job. She should find a job that works her less hours and gives her enough time to study.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: I would suggest for her to concentrate more on the classes she is doing poorly in, then "neglect" the others, until she gets on her feet for the difficult ones.  also, i would recommend her to put up a strict schedule that would divide her time into all her obligations.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: I would suggest Clara either take a break from her job or cut back on the credit hours she is taking. She could also take notes to work and review them while she works.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Ask her work to take less hours or even take one less class then take two classes in the summer.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: More practical idea needs to be applied...find a new job.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Clara should try and find a different job that allows her more free time for school. It would also be ideal if it was closer to the medical field. This would allow her to not only have more time for school but allow her to build her resume.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: School is the most important, so she should cut a few hours of her job out.  She is not getting practical experience anyways at her job.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: I would suggest the Clara, first get a blank sheet of paper and outline everything that she needs to accomplish in one week. Now I would suggest that she create a detailed calendar type layout for each week. I would assume that her job has set hours and so do the classes she is enrolled in, once those are entered into her calendar the week. She now can visualize the time she really has. It is amazing how much time we dont have, where in fact we have much more time than thought. We just usually spend it with friends, napping, watching TV, etc. Maybe talk to her friends and pick one night a week to spend with her friends and one night to spend with family. If watching TV try to do some basic homework, or get organized during this time (multitasking is a great quality). Finally, talk to those who you are close with and explain the situation to them. It is amazing how much can be done when you have support.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: get a different job where she doesn't work as much and gives her more experience.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Easy! Either cut down in the hours at work or take a little longer to graduate by taking fewer classes during a semester. It also depends if her parents are wealthy or if she is trying to accomplish this task on her own. She needs to realize what her priorites are. If she wants to be a doctor then focus on med school, especially if the next classes are going to be challenging.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Quit the job and find a new one. If the expierence isn't good then don't waste your time. Pre Med students should go to school an dwork in a hospital or in the medical feild.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: I would deem certain days work days and have at least three days a week where I would just focus on studying and attending class so that I was able to focus on specific tasks at a time.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: If she absolutely cannot cut hours, she needs to write out her schedule and make a list of all possible times open. Then, she may need to either go somewhere quiet like the library to get some serious study time in, or contact tutors for the classes she needs assistance in. That way, the time she does have is spent with someone who knows what is going on and no time will be wasted. If that is still not enough time, she will need to consider talking to her boss to explain the situation to see if hours can be cut. If not, a new job may be in order.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Clara should talk to her boss to see if she is allowed to maybe study during any down time she may have at work or she could see if her boss could shorten her hours a little bit.  Also she could study during her lunch breaks.  Another option would to be optimize her study time by having a tutor helping her or work with a study group to get more help.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: she can work something out with the job to help herslef study more. another thing she could do is look at her schedule and cut out the usless time and use it for studing.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Jobs as a gopher often have some down time, taking some study materials into work could be beneficial. If this is not possible, she should study for short periods of time (15 minutes) and take 5 minute breaks, rather than studying all night long. When coming back to the material after the break, briefly revisit the material. She could also switch subjects every 15 minutes, enabling the previous material to settle. The brain is more apt to retain information if it is revisited, even briefly, and when she gets a good night's sleep, it is more likely that she will retain the information she studied. If she were to try and cram everything in on little sleep, it is unlikely she will remember what she needs to know clearly.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: She can either take a leave of absence of her job until she is able to pull her grades back up or look for a new job that is related to her field work of study.  However, she would need to look for a job that is less hours so that she has more time.  If that doesn't work she would need to sacrifice her weekends or whatever things she may do on the side with friends or going out.  Clara can also get a date book and figure out a way to manage her time more wisely so she can make time for studying.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Clara needs to decide which is more important to her the financial situation now, or her financial situation later.  She needs to cut the hours down at work so she can have time for school.  Either that or she can quit sleeping which will gain her more hours, but decline her attention.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Clara should look for a student tech job in a hospital. These jobs pay well and have a lot of down time between patients. Most of the jobs realize that most of the people looking for these jobs are students looking forward to applying to med schools so they allow you to study when you are not with a patient.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Take less working hours in order to get the needed grades to continue with her schooling. Talk to her job, they will probably work with her
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: For the time being, it may be prudent that Clara take out some student loans to offset a reduction in hours at her job. If her employer would permit it, working 15 hours a week could allow her five hours more study time for each of the classes she is getting "C's" in.    This isn't so much a creative solution as a practical and realistic one. Student loans are inevitable for most people, particuarly with any thought to medical school. Any debt incurred from her undergraduate degree will be trumpted by loans for medical school.    Alternatively, I would recommend getting a different job that did provide her with practical experience which would be applicable and beneficial for her before medical school.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara could first start out looking for a new job. She could look for a job that relates to her major. Or find a job that she could do her homework during her work hours. That way she could get paid and have extra time for homework.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara could talk to her boss and ask if there is any way they could give her a small raise and a few less hours so she is making the same amount of money while working less.  Or, she could find work at a hospital or some medical related job so she can get practical experience and make sure that medicine is the field she wants to go to.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: She could talk to her current employer and see if there is a different job within the company or schedule that would allow her to study during slow times.  If this did not work, she could maybe cut back on her hours at the architectural firm, and pick up a job on-campus that may pay less but would be a position that she could study while she worked.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: I would suggest to cut down the hours at work and get more study time.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Quit the architectural job and apply for a job that requires less hours.  If she needs to take out a loan.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara will need to work less hours so she can have more study time for the couples of classes she has remaining.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: take less courses or work less hours
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Quit her job, quit school, join the army and serve for god's predestined plan for Clara. And change her name to Ethel.     Just kidding.  She should probably talk to her teachers about efficient and creative study habits.  She should make tapes of lectures and play them in her car to and from work.  She should also take a bunch of meth so she can stay up all night and study.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: work less hours..
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: clara should try and reduce her working hours inorder to get more time to study
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Inevent a time machine so she can have extra hours to study.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: Ask for more flexible hours for her job, as well as leniency from her professors due to her busy schedule.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: she needs to get a job thats not as demanding.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: If a profession in the medical field is something she is really striving for, I think she should focus more on her studies. Getting into med-school is extremely hard, and should be something you fully dedicate yourself to. She should ask for less hours at work, or quit if she cannot handle both.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Even though Clara enjoys her job and earns good money, i would sugest to her finding a new job. Making money is important, but school should always come first. Clara should look for a job that is more practicle and has more flexible hours.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: I would see if she can decrease the amount of time she works and possibly look for another job that can allow her more flexible hours and is related to the medical field.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Together with her work and school it takes 40 hours of her time. Typically you study 2-3 hours for each hour of school.  counting just her school time she needs to set a side 30-45 hours a week. Clara needs time management to arrange her hours of study, use different methods of studying possibly with a group, recorded/replayed studies and flash cards.  The demands of work would determine how much time she could devote to her studying.  Clara would have to find better and less time consuming methods of studying.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: I see two options here: 1) Clara should seek out new employment which will both give her practical experience toward her chosen career path and will be more understanding of the heavy work load. 2) Clara could also seek out assistance from a fellow student or group of students, forming a study group which would allow for more efficient use of what little time she presently has to study, allowing her to both keep her job, and full course load.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Since Clara enjoys both her job and her medical studies, perhaps she could incorporate studying into her job. For example, Clara could place notes or post-its on each architectural design she has to observe of important class information for exams and then everytime she sees a design it will remind her of the information. Then a week before class she can record her notes she placed to study on a voice recorder in sections and listen to a section everyday before she goes to sleep so when the day of the test comes, she will be better able to recall the information she studied.

Response: I think Clara should cut the hours she works. I think it is more important for her to focus on her studies rather than work somewhere that won't benefit her experience in the long run.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: If Clara can not talk to her boss and ask to work fewer hours, I would suggest to leave the design firm, find a new job which is more flexible with her schedule.  School should always come first.  If she leaves the company on a good note, she might be able to go back when her load at school gets lighter.

Response: Clara should ask her employer if it is possible to cut down on the hours at work. If that is not possible, then she could look for a job as a caregiver to an elderly adult (at the elderly adult's house). Most elderly adults need help with activities of daily living (cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, etc.) and may need assistance with medical care (such as administering shots, keeping track of medicines taken, etc.). This could provide Clara with practical experience because she will be learning about the special needs and medical care of older adults (in addition to developing and improving on interpersonal skills and "bedside" manner). Also, most senior citizens who require home health care/caregiving are willing to negotiate hours that will fit with their schedules and the caregiver's schedules (which will allow for Clara to have more time to study). Clara could also apply for financial aid (grants and loans) and scholarships to help pay for school. As far as school is concerned, Clara needs to set up a schedule for when she needs to study. If she is having trouble with her classes, she could arrange for help from her teachers or tutoring from other students. She could also look for study aids (books, cds, etc.) at bookstores or online to help her with improvement on study habits and clarification of the subjects she is studying. If she fails the classes, she could retake them to get better grades.

Response: Clara, being the radiant and gorgeous red head she is, should quit her job as a "gopher" and pick up stripping at a not so local strip club, as she doesn't want classmates/cowrkers/professors to see her.  Since she will not need to work as many hours as a stripper as she did a "gopher" to make the same or better pay she can have more time available for studying.  While working as dancer of pleasure she can begin to look for other jobs or internships in the medical field.  The experience of being an exotic dancer will add spice and adventure in her life that will get her out of the mental rut she is in and give her the boost she needs to excel in all aspects of her life.

Response: Prioritizing and time management needs to be more effectively addressed. Her current job as a "gopher" at an architectural design firm may seem to be of high importance at the moment, given that she needs money to pay for school, gas, food, and bills; but looking at her goals from a longterm perspective is a better way to help reprioritize her schedule. Because Clara is not receiving any practical experiences from her current job, I believe cutting down some of her work hours is an important sacrifice to be made for her future profession in the medical field. If the company does not allow Clara to cut her hours, she should consider looking for a more flexible job, in which she is given the option to work around her school hours and study time. She can also try to use better time management of studying more efficiently if she decides keeping her job at the designer firm is absolutely necessary to get by financially. This can be done by sacrificing other activities that Clara might enjoy engaging in, such as using the weekends to catch up on school materials. She can also collaborate with her classmates and attend some helpful tutoring sessions, which might help her better understand her difficult courses with a different perspective/ approach.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Clara could record her leture classes and then convert them to MP3/4 format so she can play them on her Ipod and listen to them whenever she is on her way to work, in the shower, restroom or anywhere! This could help her overlap some of her time.

Response: I would take the material that I was learning from class and put them on flash cards and leave them all over my desk at work. That way I could glance at them when I have the chance. Take them everywhere with me and try to become familiar with it. I would try to incorporate what i'm learning into experiances so that way I can find a quick correlation when trying to remember it.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Clara needs to focus more on school so that she can get that degree and do something she loves with it. I would suggest to Clara that she should give up that job and look for a part time job in medicine. By getting a  part time job in medicine she can still make a little extra money but at the same time her main focus at work and at school will be the same.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara's sole interest and future rely on her accomplishments in school, not work. She should quit her current job, and look for something that requires much less hours, but maybe still pay's well. If it does not pay well, then she should set up a budget plan to regulate her money spending, if that becomes and issue. She need's higher grades in order to be a competitive applicant.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Get a job in a hospital or nursing home environment, like a CNA or Medication aide, where you can make anywhere from 10-13 dollars an hour and each environment is very flexible with scheduling and students workload.  A hospital requires 12 hour shifts so you could schedule 2 12 hour shifts to get good pay and still have the rest of the week's free hours for study and relaxation.  Nursing homes usually require 8 hour shifts but are also very flexible with schedules.  They work around students' schedules allowing, with due notice, special days off for study and allow you to trade schedules with other workers.  You could work every other day 3 times a week or less for good pay and still have plenty of time to study.  This job change would also give her a boost on her med school applications, pending she raises her grades.

Response: Cara could ask her boss to change her work days. For example, assuming that she atttends school Tues. & Thurs., she should work 8hrs on Mon. Wed, and Fri. That way, on Tues. & Thurs. she could focus soley on her school work. While she's at work she should take advantage of any free time she has to study or get some work done.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara does not have a problem, priorities need to be set. I would suggest to Clara to obtain some type of student loans and dedicate 100% to her schooling. I consider this as an investment, a sacrifice not, but a reward latter on in her career. The other reason I suggested this is because she had 2 "C", she is not getting a practical experience. The pay is good and she enjoys the variety of duties, this alone is not going to give her the GPA needed to be accepted in medical school.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: She sohould talk toher employeer and see if he can reduce her work load. If her bose refusses she can do several things, Clara can look for a different job that is realted to her filed of study and that offers pay close to or better than her current job. If she cannot do either, she is going to have to reduce her hours in school. So that she can have less class work to work on thus having more time to do a better job and raise her grade. Something is going to have to change because her grades now will not allow her to continue her education.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara should consider using the time at work when she is moving from point A to point B as a gopher to study for her classes.  Perhaps if she were taking Organic Chemistry she could study chemical reactions and use her travels as a mnemonic to remember the specifics of the change and direction of energy in the reaction.  Additionally if she were taking physics she could use the same strategy to memorize physics equations.  This way she could continue working, and devote some of the downtime to studying for her classes.

Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Well saying that Clara works at least 5 hours a day, that leaves time for her to study or at least work on school work. I would say that it would be in her best interest to maybe develop flash cards or something that allows her to be thinking of school while she is doing her job. This would allow for her to still be able to work on school and be a study tool for those classes.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

She also has the option of looking for another job, maybe one that is less stressful, and would allow her to focus more on school. If money is a problem, she also has the option of dropping a class/taking less units in order to continue working. With less classes, she has more time to study, resulting in better grades then C's.

Also, if i were in her position I would feel as though I was spinning my wheels by being employed in a position that is giving me no job experience in the future.  I would be working in the medical field somewhere.  I believe that a poor budget and lack of motivation led to her current situation.  She needs to realize that nothing great is ever obtained with out sacrifice

Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara needs to quit her job, being a "gopher" is not condusive to her grades and since she needs her grades to enter medical school that should take presidence over her job. She could find a job at a local hospital so she can get experience related to her field. Clara should look for a job that has set hours and will allow her to work on her school work during break instead of one that keeps her running around.

Response: Clara should try to find a different job, maybe a work-study program. She could also look into working at a hospital, at least there she could be surrounded by medicine and that might help her in school
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: It sounds like Clara's present job is the lesser of two evils at the moment. Since she enjoys it, and she most likely needs the money for school fees, she can't drop the job completely. However, she should first talk with her employers to make her work schedule fit efficiently around her other activities. Whether that pans out or not, at the very least, Clara will feel like she's taken a step in the right direction. Being a "gopher" does not sound mentally-taxing. If Clara can cover new material in what little study time she has, she can confirm the knowledge through maintenance rehearsal on the job. Mental reviewing and repeating what she knows and remembers will limit what she has to go over later. Finding connections between her work activities and class material will help her find ways to review it at work and have something to refer back to during exams and study sessions. Clara could also ask her coworkers to chip in, maybe asking each to memorize a single fact (not anything large or demanding) that she needs to know from the current lesson. Every time she sees him/her, Clara would have to correctly repeat back the fact. A well-maintained schedule would also be necessary, of course. Another option would be to quit the architectural design firm and find a job that is more suited to her field, limiting the different kinds of knowledge she'd be faced with every day (architecture and pre-med aren't exactly identical), meaning less interference. It would also give her a taste for her future.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: My solution would be to take advantage of those little moments to do some studying.  As well she should talk to her employer maybe finding different hours so that way she can designate time to study
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: In this case, Clara should just look for a job that can help her have hands on experience that is connected to the field she is interested to because working at an architectural design firms is far apart from her major. She only has one year before graduation and she needs to get good grades in order to get a better job. Also, by now she should be thinking about applying for a job that is related to what she wants to be in order to have an experience and knowledge. She needs to get good grades specially in the courses that is required for her major, in order to go to the best graduate school.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: First, she must decide what is most important to her. From the outline, it seems school would be priority number one.  Normally, if a employee goes directly to the supervisor with an open mind they will work with them.  She possibly could work weekend hours, freeing up evenings for studying and homework.  Try this for a few weeks and if need be adjust the schedule further.

Response: She needs to talk to her boss at work and ask if her hours could be cut a little in order for her to study more and get better grades
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

If she is unable to take less hours at work, perhaps she should research what kind of jobs she can find that would work around her schedule that are more oriented towards the medical field. In this, Clara might be able to gain valuable experience for her future career while adding to the amount of time she has to study.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Since Clara's job is a "gopher" she could apply for a job as a gopher for a medical based firm. That way she could get her job done, and it could double as experience for her pre-med education. Also in her down time as a "gopher" she could bring her homework and work on it any chance she gets. She also needs to talk to her professors and see if they have any tips on better study habits, so she can learn to manage her time and still earn good grades.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: Clara could go in and talk to her boss at the architectural design firm and explain to him her current situation, she could communicate that she enjoys working, that the experience she is getting is helpful, but that it is coming down to crunch time at school, and her grades are suffering. This could lead to her boss being understanding and letting her take a few less hours a week, and this would leave some time for school work. This would enable her to bump up her grades before applying to medical school.    The second thing she could do would be to go talk to her professors, and explain to them her current situation: that she needs to make money, gain experience, and do well in school. She could work out an arrangement with some of her teachers in order to obtain extra credit. This would show her teachers that she is willing to learn, committed, and doing her very best. This could lead to bumping some of her Cs to Bs, and would also create a great opportunity for references when it comes to applying later that year.    The last thing she could do would be that when she is applying to graduate school, explain to them her situation and give them valid reasons as to why so some of her grades were a bit week, explaining this and how she balanced all of her activities, this would show them that she is committed able to handle a heavy work load and school.

Response: Clara needs to quit as a gopher at an architectural firm and apply as a "gopher" in the medial field. She could work as a surgical tech, nurses aid, medical assistant, or intern. SHe can ask school questions at work and cross training making school easier. Also, she needs to manage her time better because 15 hours at school and 25 hours at work only equals 40 hours a week, which is not very much if she is planning to attend med school. If she is better at managing her time the transition into the hours she will be spending at school won't be such a culture shock.

After clearing up her schedule a little without so much work, Clara should dedicate some time to the two classes where she is barely pulling "C's". If cutting her work hours still has no effect, Clara should devise a schedule for better time management and possilby cut out other things that don't pertain to her retrieving better grades, such as going out on weekends or watching tv. Just leisure activities in general, at least for awhile until everything is nice and dandy for her.

Response: Well, since she is not getting lot of practical experience.. I would say she should quit the job and concentrate more in school. Or she could talk to her boss and see if they would reduce the time for her.   The last option that i can come up with is that she could devote more time to studying, by staying up late and wasting less time.

Response: Clara should talk to her boss about an exception to the 25 hr. min.  If the boss doesn't like the idea of cutting her hours, Clara needs a new job.  A new job that maybe only requires a minimum of 12-16 hours per week.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Although her job pays well its not worth failing her classes and having to retake them.  She needs to think long term and whats good for her.  I think her best option is to quit her job and if she needs the money get another job that maybe pays more an hour and requires less of her time.  Maybe a job that she is able to work on her school work.

Response: Clara needs to create a time management schedule and be strict about her time.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara should find a new job that allows her more time to study, especially since the job she has doesnt offer her any experience in the field of work she is interested in. Maybe she can find a job as a gopher at a medical office or hospital, they may be more accustomed to working with med students and will understand her time constraints.

Response: I would see if you can get any hours cut back at work, but if you can't i would bring some of your study materials to work and get as much in as you can in on breaks..or even at times when you have nothing to do at work..that way you can fit both in at the same time.

Response: Solution 1: Clara could choose a combination of hours that could allow her to maximize her study time at her current job.  (ex. she could work 8.5 hours on Saturday, and 3-4 hours on the other days of the week, etc).  She should meet with her manager and describe her concerns.    Solution 2: Clara could find work at a similar job at a local hospital, which would also help bulk up her resume for when she has to apply for a job in the medical field.  She may easily be able to find another part-time position that gives her more experience in her desired field.    Solution 3: Clara could see if her college has any job postings listed.  A lot of times they will have different jobs that are very flexible with the student's schedule.    -Clara shouldn't drop any of her classes, and should make school a priority.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara either needs to put in a request to see if she can work less hours, or she needs to change jobs and find one that doesn't require as many hours.

Response: on weeks that she has more school load she should work less
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: I think that if Clara likes her job she should try to cut back the hours.  School is very important, but having a job she enjoys is also important.  The first option would be to cut back hours.  If that cannot be accomplished then I would suggest dropping one class and taking it during the summer.  My third option, would be to quit the job.

Response: She should work less hours.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: Write condensed version of her notes onto pieces of paper she can keep in her pocket and whip out whenever she has an extra few minutes to study. Look for ways to relate her studies to the real world, and point it out to someone when she does notice an instance of something she is studying. Make friends and study with them.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 40

Response: She should look to see if she could get a job at a local hospital or doctors office or clinic. This way, she will be getting experience that she needs for med school, she will be sure it's what she wants to do, and she may be studying a little while she works. Even if the pay is not as good, the hours may be better and it will be more helpful for her choice of career.

Response: She could talk to her boss about her situation and see if her boss could cut the amount of required work hours. Or she could come up with a schedule to manage her time better
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: It seems clear that Clara needs to find another job. Her priority is school and if she wants to get into med school she has to have excellent grades in order to compete for a spot. An ideal job would be one that allows her some time to study while working, while also gaining practical experience. She should apply at local hospitals and clinics for a part time job that would give her practical experience and perhaps more time to study.

Response: Clara should talk with someone at her job and see if it is possible for her to work less hours.  If that is not a possibility it would probably suit her best to quit her job and focus on her school work.

Response: clara can make flashcards and study during her free time or at lunch at work. she also needs to work on her time management. she should make a weekly schedule, and cut out all of the unnecessary things. she should then plan accordingly for her job and school. she may want to consider taking less hours at work to focus on her studies. she should draw out pictures to help her study and label them. she can quiz herself at work. she could also doodle at work and draw the parts of the human body, animal bodies, etc. and quiz herself. she could also print out pictures from online and label them during work. she can make up songs and melodies to help her the parts of the body for example.

Response: Clara needs to dump her boyfriend.  I'm assuming she signed up as pre-med knowing that it would be extremely difficult and time consuming.  Lose the dude, stop going to the bar, and lighten up your load with some summer classes.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 50

Response: She should look for another job that is in the field that she wants to go into.  That way, she is getting practical experience with her job and furthering herself in her field.  It also might help her with school work, getting real life experience.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara should see if she can work out a better (more flexible) work schedule.  If this is not possible then she will have to decide between pre-med school or her current job.  It is apparent that one of them needs to go in order for her to succeed at the other.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara should have a friend or colique go with her on her different gopher trips. While on these trips she can read or study. If she cannot get someone to drive her she should record her professors lectures and listen to them or her books on tape as she drives around. That way when she gets home she can do any writing or reviewing that she had to do. Therefore she could keep her job and be productive at both.

Response: Cut down on her hours at work or find a new job in the medical field. She can always tell her boss about her situtation at school and working at an Architectural firm isn't going to help her in medicine. Finding a job in the medical field will help her gain experience in medicine and might even help her in some of her classes.

Response: she should weigh out her priorities. it seems as if money is the only real reason for her staying at her curret job so she should just apply for fafsa or loans and go through school with that money.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: I think that Clara could possibly pass her courses if she takes to studying while at her job. As a gopher for an Architectural Design firm I'm pretty sure she doesn't have to spend that much time going from place to place. I think those 25 hours a week she's working can also be spent studying for her courses. It's called multitasking Clara.

Response: I would have to tell her to cut back on her work hours or find a job that will work for her this quarter.  School is much more important to to let the grades slip.  take a leave of absences for the remainder of the quarter so she can come back when she doesn't have so much work in school.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Clara needs to cut back on her job so she can study longer. however if she must have the job in order     to pay for school Clara can study while at work on her breaks. she can make flash cards of the basic   things that she needs to know and go through them on her spare time. this will help her to prepare for   her actual studying where she has to know everything. since she has been studying the basic terms and   knowledge at work, Clara will have an easier time studying the harder material and not feel so behind.

Response: Find the drive within to determine how bad she really wants to achieve her goals. I'm working 32hrs a week and taking 16 units, with straight A's. Reprioritize and eliminate wasteful activites.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: Clara needs to cut down on her hours at work because her grades are more important, in order for her to get into med school. If she needs to work those hours for financial reasons then she needs to not have a full load of classes and only go to school part time.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 22

Response: Cannot do both at the same time either do one or the other is the first option. Second is to place her classes in the morning and work at night so she can get a break to do her homework. Then ask for her lunches to be an hour long due to all the homework. She needs to talk with her job and see if she can pull most of the hours during the weekend so she can do most of her homework during the week. Another suggesstion would be to set her classes in the afternoon and work night so she can do her homework in the morning and stay up late to do her homework in order to get enough sleep and do all the rest of her things.

Response: quit her job
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 10

Response: First, if I was her, I would ask her current manager or boss if there was anyway she could cut back her work hours due to her current school work load. Obviously, this semester is maybe only the slight case of more difficulty. Since she has been there for a while maybe they will understand her situation and be understanding knowing that she is a good student and plans to apply for medical school.     Secondly, if that does not work, I would ask for some time off to that she may catch up in her school work. If that is not an option either, than it would be better to consider looking for another job and possibly taking out some loans to help her in the mean time. Maybe she can take a position else where with fewer hours but similar pay. There is always the ability for her to work full time in the summer to make up for her loss in pay, or at least she can plan for that next summer to save money so that she will not have to be so dependent on her work pay currently.
Human originality rating (0-100 scale): 31

Response: How solve this problem depends on the firm she works for. If she has proven to be a good employee and wishes to stay employed with the firm, she should ask for a leave of absence until the semester is over and then return to the job. If the company does not allow this, she should consider leaving the job and focusing solely on school. If she is positive she wants to work in the medical field some day, working for an architecture firm may not be the best option for her. She could take out more student loans if she needs the money, as most jobs in the medical field have loan repayment for their employees.

Response: To keep her job and maintain good grades, Clara should bribe her professors with either money or sexual services (whichever the professor would prefer). This way she wouldn't have to attend class, can increase her savings by working more (provided that the monetary bribes aren't too high), and wouldn't have to worry about actually learning the material until she takes the tests to get into medical school. By that time, she'd have enough money saved to where she could quit and spend all her time studying, so it's win-win all around (especially for the professors).
