affects individual students but also impacts the overall classroom dynamic,

behaviors or skills are argued to enhance positive academic outcomes by
enabling students to manage their curriculum more efficiently and achieve
their learning objectives (Razali et al., 2018).
The issue with learning a skill this way is that often leads to the
development of bad habits. Even though the skill might be generally useful,
