author considers this a dual study considering two different target groups were being observed, tested, and evaluated. This dual study approach can be manipulated to fit the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) initiatives that are currently providing funding to educators. Instead of focusing on a specific textbook or certification process the program could be focused on career fields in construction that rely on the STEM components. The construction industry needs scientists, technologists, engineers and especially mathematicians. By providing the necessary components to learning that were mentioned in the results of this study, any educator could develop a program that suits their specific STEM

Although the impact of theprocrastination on student learning is widely debated, it has been correlated with a lack ofexternal (or self) regulation, motivation, and performance anxiety. These contributors stand incontrast to the commonly asserted issue: lack of time. A lecture-centric course provides limitedobservations for evaluating actual student
