Hello, Prof Robertson, CTU. The speaker expresses great points about procrastination in students. In fact I have heard them all from my own students. The key is to set the tone of the classroom. As the speaker stated that students gather a picture of how something will turn out. This can happen before the class starts and students visualize how the course will take place. They procrastinate starting the initial review of the course which in most cases leads to them having less interest and motivation. As an instructor my method to combat this is to set the tone of the class. I am writing an article on this method which will explain in detail. Do watch for it in the coming months. Other things an instructor can do are to encourage students and motivate them to do well.
Prof. Robertson
