The following data was collected as a result of our survey. We had sent out 40 surveys, reflective of the population of the Junior class. However, we only received 30 back, and one person didn't even respond.

The "Procrastination Level" is a number reflective of our procrastination scale. When asked how long before the assignment is done that the student actually starts, the following scale was used:
  • 1 - Right Away
  • 2 - In a Timely Fashion
  • 3 - The Night Before
  • 4 - The Morning Of (Before School)
  • 5 - The Period Before
  • 6 - Minutes Before
