Question:Some students prefer to have their final grades determined by numerous small  


assignments, whereas others prefer to have their final grades determined by only a few large  


assignments. Which do you prefer and why?  


sample answer:  


I prefer to have my final grade determined by numerous small assignments rather than one or two large  


assignments. That way, procrastination is less likely because I’m sharply focused on the frequent due  


dates. I also tend to learn more throughout the semester and each assignment is less stressful because  


they aren’t worth a huge percentage of my total grade.  


Procrastination can be a big problem for some students, myself included. When there are only a few  


large assignments in a class, there can be several weeks in a row where we aren’t required to turn in  


any work. The assumption is that we are studying or writing at home in the meantime. However, I  


know that this can sometimes lead to procrastination on my part. I take advantage of the situation and  


think I can take a few days to relax before getting to work. But more and more time goes by and  


suddenly I am scrambling to complete the assignment before the due date. Turning in smaller  


assignments more frequently prevents this scenario. The structure doesn’t allow me to fall behind  


because something is always due in the near future.  


These frequent assignments also assure that we students are learning more throughout the semester. For  


example, if each small assignment covers one chapter from the textbook, then my classmates and I will  


read each assigned chapter because we must. A test or new assignment is always around the corner to  


check our work. But such specific studying isn’t really necessary if we don’t even turn anything in until  


midway through the semester. Certain chapters might get skimmed or even skipped out of perceived  


unimportance. Maybe we save time, but we are receiving less information overall, which isn’t good.  


Finally, having only a few large assignments can be tremendously stressful. I’m always well aware that  


doing poorly on an essay could result in me failing the entire class if the essay is worth a large  


percentage of my overall grade. This can have a nearly paralyzing effect on my work because the  


pressure is just too much. Nothing I do seems good enough when the assignment is that important.  


Having several smaller assignments is much more pleasant because I know it isn’t the end of the world  


if something goes wrong with one of them. My grade won’t be affected too terribly. I’m then more  


confident and at ease in my work.  


That is why I much prefer having my grade determined by several small assignments instead of a few  


large assignments. I’m not allowed to procrastinate, I engage more with the subject matter over the  

course of the semester, and I’m not overwhelmed with stress because of massively important  assignments.
