when you are a student,do you put off your work disposed by teachers to deadline or you're a quick student who used to launch on early and be ready early. as for me,i do. usually,i won't start it until there is little time left. thus,i'm often in a hurry. what about you? what style are you in?

No. Whenever I got a project to do for school, I would start on it as soon as it was assigned.I hate to be late so I would start right away.

It is second nature to me. My mom taught me that I Had to get my work done Before I got to have fun.And to finish one thing Before you start another thing.

You are far from the only one. In college, it's one of the most natural things to do. It's funny when I do procrastinate, my work seems to be of better quality. I don't know if it's because I'm in a rush to do something or what, but I always get better grades on the things I do at the last minute.

as a student i was one who always did the work way before the deadline. i would take my time to make sure the work was done correctly, and if i had any questions. i would have time to ask. i can relax and a focus on other stuff

I'm 50 yrs old and no longer a student, but I've been that way ever since I can remember. I think I work better under pressure. I'm a big procrastinator but somehow always get the job done, even if it's at the last minute.

I was the queen of starting at the last minute. I wrote almost all my papers the night before they were due, and even did the research for them at the last minute. I remember one time a professor made us turn in a rough draft a week ahead, and a classmate of mine said she didn't know how to write a rough draft, because she never started early enough to have time to write more than one paper. That's exactly how I felt. I also did my studying at the last minute. I was the student who was still studying right up to the point where the professor said to put your books away.

the same with you.i never write a rough draft befor a formal writing. days before deadline is truely tough for me.i remember i stayed up late to write my graduation paper when most of my classmates have already finished. it's not a good habit,i think.

For me, it depends on what the subject is and what the work entails for that assignment. I hate math, so anyhting envolving anything to do with math will be put off until the last possible time. I don't do well at math so I absolutely dread doing the work for my calculus class. If the subject is interesting than I tend to get the work done alot sooner. For example if the work has to do with my major I am much more likely to get the work done early. But most the time I am like you, always rushing to get the assignments done by the deadlines.

i'm just opposite to you.i love math and do it quick as well as correct.i'm always think that if other homework is as simple as math,i'm certainly to finish it quickly. i hate language,specially writing composition which i find clean troublesome.

Well, It depends to me on whether i'm in a good mood and the work is easy. If the work is easy and i don't need to think it too much, and i'm in a good mood to finish my work, then i will finish it as quickly as possible;vice versa.But in most of the times, i'm a quick doer.

Do you know what makes human great? It is pressure.If I didn't set a deadline,I often forgot.To be honest,I am a lazy boy.I will postpone manything if without deadline.

I seldom did the assignment when I was in the college,but I did be present in most classes and only skipped no more than 15 classes that sll in the last term. and the assignment only helped when your score was under 60. If your score was under 60,the teacher would consider your your assignment and how many classes did you skipped to decide whether you need to take the exam again.So I usually didn't do the assignment except the physical experiment report,because if you forgetted one report you had to do the same experiment again and the experiment for me is boring.so...

Aha, this is a good topic. As for me, I expect to complete any work as soon as possible but always put off them to deadline. I think it's a good habit to work designedly but not in a hurry. So I should reflect on myself and try to work more efficiently.
