You can bust out an A- level of work in an hour and a half.
I have faith.

I can't make an A in the course (attendance issues <_<) but I only need a 65 on this essay to make a B. And a 25 will get me a C. Skipping it entirely and I can still get credit, but with a really low grade.

so I have like 0 motivation for this.

plus I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be writing lol
---

no progress so far
---

You can do it! You can procrastinate! Go Melo! Procrastinate!
---

What class is it? I'll whip you up an essay in a few minutes.
---

The class is Latino Literature in the United States. The prompt is "synthesize or explain how you have come to understand the subject of U.S. Latino Literature as a result of this course"
---

build a wall around you
---

Show up to class ya bum

Well blah, I could come up with something but it's asking for your personal experience, it would take more work for you to describe the class to me, then it would for you to just write up what happened in it.

Just write a few paragraphs about your experience in the class (text you read, assignments given, teachers methods etc).

I'd break it up something like this:

Intro (describe the class and what you where looking to achieve from taking it).

Main body: Describe the textbook/s you read used, the lesson plans that were given, the teaching methods used etc.

Conclusion: What you are taking away from the class. What knowledge and understanding you have now, that you didn't have before you took the course.

Doesn't have to be amazing since you don't even need an A (and one won't help you really). Just describe what went down, toss it through a proof read program (checking for grammar etc) and send it in.

Man class is over. We met 42 times this semester, and I only showed up 5 times <.<

Still, I managed to have 85 in the class. Would've been a 94 if I went to every class meeting :(
---

Make up some bullshit by skimming through the assigned texts

ah dang. I just remembered I have to go to the pharmacy and the tailor's today >.< Both close at 5 so this has to hurry up.

stiill haven't started tho.
---

Done with the intro. 202 words down.
---

Finished a pretty lengthy paragraph. I'm at 462 words now, which is scary because I still have a lot to say which means there's going to be a lot of pruning when I'm done.

Once you start writing, it's hard to stop. Though I'm surprised you gave up on the procratination so soon. I procrastinate until like the last couple of hours. Haha.
---

well I've had three weeks to write this, so in the long run I did kinda procrastinate a while :P

Did some pruning and wrote another paragraph. Up to 670 words now. One more quick point to make, and then a conclusion. Boom.
---

883 words and still a conclusion to go.
---

Done. 998 words.
---

Nice job man. I cant even get myself to do such job
---

I got a 79 on the essay, and a B overall in the course. Better than I expected!
---

Woo hoo

That's awesome! I took a few online classes once. I finshed the 4 est with a pretty high A. I decided not to do the essay as I would still pass with a high C. But after a few weeks, Instill didn't have a grade. So, I did the essay weeks later while taking a class for work, and turned it in. Got an A or B(can't remember), and a good grade for the class overall. I was surprised. It might have been due to the fact I was in the military. But, yeah. I feel it's different with actual classes, though.
