When the Due Date Is Not the "Do" Date!
Mastrianni, Theresa M.
Learning Communities: Research & Practice, v3 n2 Article 4 2015
Our students consistently hand in assignments late, or complete them at the last minute. Why is it that they know about assignments all term long yet only begin them the night before the assignment is due? Based on a career-focused learning community at Kingsborough Community College of the City University of New York, this article looks at ways to help our "millennial" students develop better time management skills. It shows how time management and prioritizing can be introduced as a tool for success in college and life and offers suggestions to better engage students in getting assignments done in a timely manner.
