Procrastination maybe a good thing
Procrastination among college students is a common phenomenon. In this paper, I will talk about how procrastination maybe a good thing for students by explain in two aspects. First, I will apply this phenomenon of putting off review before exam to the difference of short-term memory and long-term memory. Then I will explain how frontal lobe among other lobes contributes to the decision of procrastination.
I am a lot worse than I was at procrastinating last year when I was new in college. I am getting my work done later and later. Sometimes I won’t start working my problem sets until the last minute. Procrastination is one of those things that I feel effects everyone. My roommate is on Facebook for an entire hour while she has two papers to turn in tomorrow and she hasn’t even tries to start one of them. “Procrastination is a natural part of college,” she said. Most of us may point to procrastination as an irrational delay, where we put off despite being worse off. However, there must be a reason that almost all the college students are facing some level of procrastination. Procrastination must have some positive effect.
Almost all the college students push off reviewing stuff of the curse until the last week, or even the last few days before the exam. Actually, during the exam, all of the questions are related to these three types of testing memory: recall, cued recall and recognition. If it were all multiple-choice tests, then it only applies to recognition. Students do not need to form long-term memory of the stuff in order to solve the problems in the exam. So they will only study for few days before the exam to form a short-term memory, a temporary storage of recent event. It requires a lot of effort to turn short-term memory into semantic memory (one of the two types of long-term memory) because they need to repeat the stuff several times for a long time to turn them into semantic memory. However, students don’t have
