Last minute coursework

Hi a random question i know but wanted you views you see my friend is doing last minute coursework meaning she needs to complete a workload of coursework before friday. She left it to the last minute meaning stress, tears, stress, tears. Lets get to the question anyway has anyone ever manage to complete or crammed a lot of coursework when i say alot i mean alot, in a small space of time i mean like a period of 3 days nonstop? But without all nighters. If so how.

Last year i manage to do 3 months of coursework in a week and got 82/100 for it which is ok seeing as it was last minute, this was ict and did i forgot to mention 150 pages of work.


Thanks in advance Any advice for my friend will be helpful as she needs it.

Depends on the subject, I guess. Some subjects, you can sort of get away with doing the coursework quickly- I did both pieces of English coursework in one evening- but with others it's more difficult.

Well, I started about seven-ish and finished at around eleven, so I wouldn't call it an all-nighter. Plus it was pretty easy coursework. But yeah, really does depend on the subject and how good your friend is at it. If they know the stuff anyway, it's possible to do a piece of coursework well in that amount of time.
im writing thesis in a week from scratch (although i already have the results/data). you will be surprised how much faster you work when the pressure is on. i also try to just concentrate on what is required and not try to over think things.

also lots of coffee, pro plus and cigarette breaks. i hear they are very good for you

I thought this was your friend, not you? :confused:
I'm trying to get a load of coursework done fast as I should have done it last weel but had mock exams and wanted to do a bit of revision for them, as well as do my driving test, get enough sleep and stay sane. So I'm doing it now. Good times.
I've got four bits of Physics for Monday, and I'm still on TSR.
I'm cool. :p:

I did 3 pieces over three days in my first year of my degree (English Lit) One was a 1500 word comparitive essay, one was a 3000 word creative writing portfolio and one was a 2000 word learning journal . I did all nighters and it was hard work plus my boyfriend lost my Usb stick with most of my creative writing work on it the same week meaning I had to start from scratch! All my marks were around 68/69 so I was quite pleased, It is possible to do work at last minute just very hard. Every essay I did at uni was an all nighter the day before.

Well To be honest, if you've got to hand it in by like tomorrow, i think you should get off this website, and stop surfing the internet, unless it's helping you in a way, because it's wasting a lot of your time and you're not even realizing. So just crack on and pray to the knowledge you already have
Dude i feel your pain i got 2 days to finish my computing coursework... Laptop broke day later. Things you need:
