Let's say a person has fallen behind in a few classes and tests are coming up/the due dates for assignments are drawing near, what would be the best way to go about the situation? It would not necessarily be an advanced learning and apprehension since it would be within a short amount of time but more so to the extent of passing and perhaps a little further if able. How might that person deal with catching up in an efficient way and what choices or alternatives should that person consider in order to reduce the possibility of the same occurrence happening again?

In a more simplistic statement, how does an individual deal with extensive procrastination?
