Welcome to Procrastination 101

Welcome to Procrastination 101, I'm your instructor Cornelius T. Atwithers III. I will now go over the structure of the course. There are four parts:

I Ancient Greek procrastination
II Procrastination during the reign of King Louis XIV
III Post modern deconstructionist procrastination
IV The future of procrastination (although we might not get to this part because I just can't seem to get around to putting together the reading and writing assignments for that subject)

There will be reading assignments each week of anywhere from 50 to 250 pages. By the end of the semester you will have translated from French to English the entire 1,000 page memoir La Vie Procrastinacione by Marcel DuBois .

In addition, three papers will be assigned. The first will be 50 pages long. In it, you will describe in extreme detail, all the times you've ever procrastinated. The second paper will pose the question HWJP? (or How Would Jesus Procrastinate?). And finally, your third paper will focus on famous presidents who have procrastinated.

Any student who turns in two or more assignments on or before the due date will immediately receive a failing grade (well, not immediately, first we have to finish watching the complete season four of Survivor and then if we haven't forgotten about it, we'll fail said student).

Classes begin promptly at 9 AM and any student who is not at least five minutes late will be frowned upon in a most unpleasant way.

Failure to complete two or more assignments will result in a very good grade.
