How to Do Homework in Another Class

Time is a valuable commodity for a busy student. There are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done. There is homework, sports, band, and social activities just to name a few things that keep a student running. An effective way to get homework done is to do it in another class during a boring lecture or if you are ahead in that class.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Find the class that you are furthest ahead in or requires the least amount of class work. Choose the class which has the most available free time to complete the homework from the other class.
2. Complete the assigned class work as soon as possible. If you finish the current work in the other class quickly, then you can appear busy by working on the homework for another class. If you just sit there, the teacher may assign busy work to keep you out of trouble.
3. Pretend to work on the current assignment while working on your homework. If you appear busy, the chances are the teacher will not bother you. To be safe you could take the cover off the book for the current class and put it on the other book to hide your ruse. Be sure that you know enough about the class assignment to answer questions should the teacher call on you.
4. Ask a friend to cover you in case the teacher looks in your direction. Sometimes you can become engrossed in a assignment and forget to look out for the teacher. Your friend can give you a nudge or make a noise if the teacher looks suspiciously in your direction.
5. Talk to the teacher about your dilemma. Ask them if it is okay to work on another class's assignment during class. Make sure they understand that you find their class interesting and challenging but that you are desperate to finish this other homework. Some teacher's may give you a break if you promise not to fall behind in their class.
