Have you been avoiding a task you should have finished yesterday? Feeling bad about it? Maybe you shouldn’t!
Professor Anne McCants has turned procrastination into a virtue as she prepares for her classes by avoiding class preparation. Reading is her favorite form of procrastination, and casual reading affords her ways of identifying relevant current events that she can weave into her course on medieval economic history, 21H.134J.
Professor McCants’ reflections on creative procrastination, how to teach problem solving, the intersection of research and teaching, and other topics are presented in the “Instructor Insights” section of 21H.134J’s This Course at MIT page.
This Course at MIT is a new OCW feature that provides additional information about what kinds of students take the course, what the instructor hopes students will take away from the course, how the students spend their time, and often how the instructor approaches the teaching of the course.
