I went through hundreds of graphs this
afternoon, but finally I realized that the first graph that I saw is the most
interesting one and I can say that it's the most truthful one as well. I
found the graph called “Use of time
before 15 page essay due in 12 hours” and I think that it’s the same for at
least 90% students these days.
As you can see above the graph shows seven
activities that we actually do during writing our assignments. Firstly, I would
like to describe the smallest parts of the chart. Surprisingly, writing of the essay takes us only 2%
of the time, then we usually make the
margins really small in order to make particular pages small enough and
this takes about 5% of our time. After our pages are as small as possible we
start to make a cover page because
this activity is the least boring one. It takes us about 2% of time. After the cover page is done we spend about
8% of the time inserting huge quote boxes
and then we skim our research notes
for about 3% of the time. These at least a little valuable activities take us
20% of our time which is 2 hours and 15 minutes. So, what are we doing during
the other almost 10 hours? Most of this time we spend on Facebook and then we are crying
because we’re going to fail our class.
Well, do you recognize yourself in this
graph or not?
I DO! :D i saw this graph before and i'm happy to validate that the data in the graph is fairly accurate. i'd maybe make the "crying" section a bit bigger and definitely decrease on the size of the "research notes" section. I think the FUNNIEST thing is that even with all of that on our minds, even with all the things we can do instead of working on our assignments we always manage to finish the project in the end. Especially when all the time spend on fcb represents gathering information about your essay from other ppl ;)
OdpovědětVymazatI definitely agree with you! I'd need the crying part a lot bigger ...and your reason for using a facebook instead of writing will be a useful excuse when writing a next essay! :D
