Lazy Pages

Procrastination is something many university students are familiar with—putting off tasks until the last minute, starting assignments the night before they’re due, or rushing to meet multiple deadlines in a packed schedule. But why do students procrastinate, and does it actually affect academic performance?

As part of my BCM 212 research project at UOW, I’m investigating the relationship between procrastination and student grades. While it’s often assumed that procrastination is simply a result of laziness, existing research points to a range of other contributing factors, including anxiety, perfectionism, and motivation levels.

To explore this further, I’m conducting a short, anonymous survey aimed at BCM 212 students. The results will help determine whether there’s a measurable link between procrastination and academic outcomes.

Your participation would be greatly appreciated. It will take less than 3 minutes, and your insights will help challenge assumptions and deepen our understanding of how procrastination impacts student success at UOW.
