Friday 15 June 2018
A 1-day workshop designed to support lecturers who struggle with procrastinating tendencies of their students.

A 1-day workshop designed to support lecturers who struggle with procrastinating tendencies of their students. It will provide you with useful information and strategies that will support you in helping students to develop the mind-set and the capacity to start and finish their projects on time!

About the workshop

It´s been said that all procrastination is delay, but not all delay is procrastination. In fact, procrastination is a very specific type of delay, which can create deeply negative emotional consequences. It is a behaviour which consists of postponing relevant work or projects that need to be performed, either by delaying the beginning of such work, or not being able to finalize it. Procrastination is particularly pressing for students who suffer from fear of failure and/or paradoxically, fear of success.

This workshop will address the psychological underpinnings of the procrastination behaviour; who is at higher risk; what are the causes, the emotional signs and consequences of procrastination; what the latest psychological research says about it, and how it can be effectively addressed by lecturers.
