Probably for as long as there have been schools, teachers have noticed that:
  • A students know that they are A or B students;
  • B students know that they are B students;
  • the top C students know that they are C students;
  • the bottom C students and the D students "know" that they are A students.
This research seems to document those observations.
It all suggests that the first step in acquiring knowledge is to Know Thyself.

I was commenting on what I see in University classes, usually on specialized topics. I agree it would be different from what you see in high school.
*I'm having trouble getting the link to work, because there are square brackets in the url.
Put it in the form [url]http://...stuff...[/url];, except replace every internal (part of the url) '[' with '%5b' and replace every internal ']' with '%5d'.
