OK, we need to buckle down. As painful as this is going to be, we REALLY need the marks in this stupid course. If only it wasn't counting toward my GPA. I could blow it off, but I can't.
OK, time to buckle down.
Maybe if I go ask the school librarian for some help. She could give me some sweet resources and maybe even help me work through an outline.Click here if this is you.
This is overwhelming. There is so much riding on it. I have to get a good mark on this. Maybe if I sleep on the assignment, I can get a good start on it tomorrow.Click here if this is you.
Maybe I could get my parents to get me a tutor for the course. The tutor could help me write the paper. With some persuation, maybe they could write much of it for me...Click here if this is you.
I've just got to suck it up. I'm heading home and getting started on this right away. I know that if I put it off, it won't get any easier, so I might as well start it while it is fresh in my mind. I guess I've got a bunch of homework tonight!Click here if this is you.
This is not a great scenario for learning. The student is resenting the assignment and is completely focused on the mark at the end of it all. This is not about learning but about hoop-jumping and has fostered a sense of dis-engagement. If anything is remembered about this in the future, it will be the pain and suffering that were endured, regardless of the outcome.
