Perfectionists are losers. “What if people won’t want to hire me because I am too young?” “Give me a break,” he said. “Perfectionists are losers.” I laughed out-loud at his bluntness, but immediately got what he was saying. When you sit back and wait until you are perfectly prepared for an opportunity, it passes you by. What highly productive and successful people do is spend as little time as possible at the edge of opportunities, agonizing whether or not to move forward. Instead, they jump in with both feet and sink or swim quickly. So if you have the tendency to let perfectionism limit your success in the world, how do you overcome it?

Tip #1: Reframe your understanding of how perfect happens. There is nothing wrong with having very high standards and wanting to produce excellent work. The problem is, most people don’t understand that extremely high quality work usually results from a practice my father taught me from photography: bracketing. This technique applies to many things besides photography: You just know. AP Biology Investigative Labs. Supplement to the first printing: This Supplement to the First Printing of the lab manual includes updated URLs, corrections, clarifications, sample data tables for Investigation 7, and an updated version of the AP Biology Equations and Formulas appendix. The second printing of the Teacher Manual, available for download below, incorporates these changes. The second printing of the Student Manual, available through the College Board store, has also been updated.

CASE STUDIES have a long history in business, law, and medical education. Their use in science education, however, is relatively recent. In our 20 years of working with the method, we have found it to be a powerful pedagogical technique for teaching science.

Cases can be used not only to teach scientific concepts and content, but also process skills and critical thinking. And since many of the best cases are based on contemporary, and often contentious, science problems that students encounter in the news, the use of cases in the classroom makes science relevant. We have also found the method to be extraordinarily flexible. We have seen it used as the core of entire courses or for single experiences in otherwise traditional lecture and lab courses. The mission of the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science at the University at Buffalo is to promote the development and dissemination of materials and practices for case teaching in the sciences.
