I’m running late on my essay. What do I do?

Veröffentlicht von:  MahmutH

Hi, guys! I have a big problem. My essay is due on Monday, but there is no way I can finish it by then. I’ve always kept my deadlines so far, but this time I had family problems and so the time isn’t enough for me. I want to know if anyone else has had such a problem before and what you did. I don’t know whether I should talk to the professor and if I do what exactly I should say. I don’t want to seem flaky and like I’m not taking it seriously, but I also don’t want to fail the class. Let me know how you’d deal with this situation please! Thanks in advance : ))

Good morning! First of all, I can say I think we’re all struggling with motivation right now. It’s so difficult to concentrate and find the willpower to do everything in time :( I was actually in a similar situation last month – I had an assignment, but couldn’t submit it in time. What I did was write an email to the professor to explain my problem and he was very understanding! That’s what I think you should do – write now and tell him it’s very difficult time for you right now and hopefully he will understand!

I can speak from personal experience. Last semester I had problems finishing my essay and nothing helped me to concentrate. In the end I went to see a therapist and he diagnosed me with ADD. He gave me a note and because of that my professors now give me extra time.

Same here, Mahmut!! It’s soooo difficult to concentrate on my tasks now and I have so many things to distract me at home. My cat jumps on my desk and that;s it, I stop writing.

I think askin for an extension of your deadline is better than running late and submitting it after the deadline.
