Procrastination with flexible deadlines: can it wait?
Procrastination with flexible deadlines: can it wait?
This work analyses the link between procrastination on long-duration assessment and academic performance in an environment with flexible deadlines. We show that there is a negative correlation between date of submission and assessment marks which, after controlling for various confounding factors, suggests that academic procrastination has a negative impact on academic performance. The results suggest also that further work is needed in identifying the most appropriate assessment structure of long-duration assessments and in introducing interventions aimed at reducing academic procrastination.

Abstract
This work analyses the link between procrastination on long-duration assessment and academic performance in an environment with flexible deadlines. We show that there is a negative correlation between date of submission and assessment marks which, after controlling for various confounding factors, suggests that academic procrastination has a negative impact on academic performance. The results suggest also that further work is needed in identifying the most appropriate assessment structure of long-duration assessments and in introducing interventions aimed at reducing academic procrastination.
