Join us to learn about different science topics.  We meet in 090/070 in the 18th Avenue Library (175 West 18th Ave., formerly Science & Engineering Library). 


Date:

04/03/13 – 6:30pm

Speaker:

Samuel Rowe, OSU Walter E. Dennis Learning Center

Topic:

Procrastination, and some ways to avoid it

Summary:

Procrastination adversely affects over 50% of the student population (e.g, Piers, 2007). Given the ubiquity of this decision making trend, and the potentially long-term nature of its consequences (e.g. Blunt, Pychyl, & Thibodeau, 2000), it’s necessary to re-examine how procrastination is thought of, its causes and its potential solutions.

 

This presentation does just that through the review of research in the psychology of decision making which surround procrastination and explores their apparent implications. These implications are then considered for their contribution to avoiding procrastination .

Bio:

A graduate of The Ohio State University in Psychology, Samuel works as the head learning specialist for the Dennis Learning Center. He directs the appointment services, an intervention for all students, professional, graduate and undergraduate, that seeks to optimize student learning methodology and academic experience. His primary project has been the integration of cross-disciplinary practice and latest research toward advancing appointment based interventions for procrastination.
