Hi, hj5821cgirl, welcome to PsychCentral (PC). When I do not like an assignment I use my creativity to work within the framework, make that my challenge. For example, when I was a senior I had to take a freshman course I did not take earlier and the rules of the papers we had to write, etc. were "babyish" and I wrote the professor an email and explained and asked could I do something else but he said "no" so I then set it up to see just how creative I could be within the confines of the rules. It's kind of like thinking of 10 uses for a brick? That sort of thing?

Too, I prefer online classes because they give a bit more freedom of where I have to participate, and by when. I am taking an online course now and have a paper due next week but have been working on it since the moment the topic became available (because I wanted to) so I'm finished now and have to wait to hand it in or it will look like I have not spent enough time on it

When I was little I use to climb on my bedroom dresser to survey my room from that perspective; now I would try altering when I got up or went to bed, where I went to study, how I studied, etc., to try and find something that got back interest in a subject (I do not read textbooks, for example but ask/answer questions about a subject, researching on the Web or in groups with others (like here, were I studying "psychology" for example)) or I invent my own school and subjects/texts and create workbooks, etc. whatever appeals to me within the confines.
