OK..I'm gonna help you out in engineering.

Its not about wishing that this part of a course was worth this or that part of a course was worth that...

If your like most students your not a genius...

Its about bang for your buck...apportioning your time to get grades in the the areas with the best impact on your final grade.

Good luck.

I am no genius and I actually completed most of my capa assignments FYI and all I am trying to say is that 2.5% is not free marks for amount of time I spend on it every week.. 10% sounds better for "free marks" when you work your ass off every week.

In my opinion CAPA really helps to learn the material.

It does help, but engineering capa was way harder than anything we got tested on. it was also worth 2.5% so I didnt feel bad about not doing some weeks.
