Bolin tells Hazel that she needs to study because Bolin believes Hazel's results will be bad based on previous impressions. Hazel disagrees, believing her previous performance as an excellent student means she does not need to study. The teacher forms a first impression of a student based on whether they did their homework or not. Hazel is optimistically biased, believing she is unlikely to get caught cheating and face negative consequences by bringing notes into the exam. Bolin's mother socially compares her daughter's good exam results to Hazel's father's results, looking down on Hazel. Hazel learns studying techniques by observationally learning from Bolin's study habits and attention in class.
