Self-Pacing in a Personalized Psychology Course: Letting Students Set the Deadlines.
Roberts, M. Susan; And Others
Teaching of Psychology, v15 n2 p89-92 Apr 1988
Describes two studies which evaluated procedures supplemental to instructor-set and student-set deadlines in a self-paced psychology course. One procedure required students to report their progress on quizzes, while the other required them to meet all deadlines. Concludes that both measures reduced procrastination through increased pacing rates and schedule compliance. (GEA)
