Isn't that what college is all about? Perhaps we all should start a club. "People who should be doing homework, but are cruising Controlbooth instead."
I've got a 20 page research paper due in a week or two that hasn't been started. I feel both of your pain.
Now, where'd I put that Dune novel...

HEY! I'll join that club. Maybe make it on Facebook, since we are in college and highschool and other educational venues that require homework.
My wife is just finishing her Masters in Early Ed. She writes two 20 page papers a week. '
Course we don't see each other much, my children have forgotten who she is, and the dog growls at her when she comes downstairs from the office..............
I second Derek's comments.
While getting my Master in Education. I had this "Assessment" class. We called it "Obsess-ment" due to the insanity of the teacher. We had to create an outline of an entire course and then create an outline of a two week unit with a description of all the exercises, followed by one detailed day of class. Then show how we were assessing progress every day and of course there was a final at the end of the unit to write. Every word that we wrote was questioned it wasn't just getting the concept right we had to rewrite and rewrite until we guessed the exact word SHE would use. The final document we turned in was about 30 pages long. Next to that was I had a stack of over 250 pages of rewrites that were not acceptable and removed in order to achieve the 30 pages of "perfection". It was enough to drive you crazy. We all hated the teacher. 10 weeks of what are your goals and objectives, how are the different? what are the benchmarks that tell you you have achieved the objectives? How can you asses student learning of the objectives in both formal and informal ways. CRAP!
I was getting my degree as both a History and Drama teacher. And as you no doubt have figured out history teachers are a little different than the language/literature folks. The class was around this long conference table. The language folks would sit at the front and the History folks in the back. I would bring a 2lb bag of baby carrots to class and lay it in the middle of the table. Anytime one of the guys from the History group answered a question correctly (i.e. guessed what the prof wanted us to say) he was given the opportunity to eat a carrot from the bag. We did this for weeks! She never said anything. I have often wondered if she just had no idea what to do with us? If she had so little sense of humor that she didn't get that it was a joke? It was the only way to make that class tolerable.
Ouch! Yeah, my wife has had that class, and yes it just about drove her crazy too. She did create a really cool lesson on Water, for a science class. She actually created a book called "Waterology" <like the Wizardology, Dragonology, Pirateology, etc. books> Her teacher liked it so much she wants to use it for one of her classes!.
That reminds me of another thing about that class the professor was so insane all of her classroom handouts were copy written.
Copyright is so easy to do, I wouldn't call it crazy at all.
What specifically does copy righting work entail? Is there an official guide or something to the process?
Technically, as soon as you put your work in print form, be it writing or art, you have an assumed copyright. You can file with the government which makes it easier to argue in court if you had to. This process requires filling out a few forms and sending the work and a copyright fee to the government.

No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work. See Circular 1, Copyright Basics, section “Copyright Registration.”

Thats interesting, I've tried to log on to the US copyrite site twice and I can't get there. We have no system like that. I post copies of my work to myself registered mail with a signature and date across the sealed flap and never open them.
Are you aware if foreign writers can register their work in the US. As a playwright I am interested although I haven't had a US production yet. Just Australia the UK and Greece.

That's interesting. Welcome to Australia. You need a special license to use a Genie Lift but you can plagiarize all you want.
