This topic has great potential in the 'real life examples' part of the assessment. I'd be interested to see if you can find some research that focuses on uni students - it would be very interesting! Good luck Danielle.d 00:55, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Overall Overall comments This is an informative and well-presented chapter on procrastination, which could be strengthened with the inclusion of more learning features and self-help strategies. Theory Theory comments Multiple major theories are outlined, including the Appraisal-anxiety-avoidance model and temporal motivation theory. The section on self-help strategies could be expanded. Research Research comments Great discussion of task characteristics and personality traits that influence procrastination. Comparative analysis of studies is demonstrated. A wide range of sources are relied upon to progress the argument. Written expression Written expression comments Some words are doubled up (e.g., What what) and other words seem to be unintentionally omitted (e.g., “only trait correlates strongly with procrastination”. Trait what?). Examples of incorrect punctuation (e.g., “Fernie and colleague (2009)’s”). The figure of the procrastination cycle is a very helpful learning tool and well-placed. Some sentences were too long to easily follow (e.g., first sentence under Dealing with irrational delay).
