Instructions

When you sit down to complete your coursework, what is your learning environment like?  Do you need complete quiet or do you play music?  Do you focus on the assignment at hand all by itself, or do you surf Facebook, watch a movie on YouTube, and text at the same time you write a paper, work on math problems, or research a topic for history class?

The concept of "multitasking," or doing many things at seemingly the same time, is common today because of our use and dependency on technology, but it can also lead to wasting time and not getting much of anything done.
