Abstract

Class lectures were pretty boring, and it wasn’t surprising to see course attendance slip so much.

She gets it all in but does not overwhelm you, and can lull you to sleep.

The lecturer goes on and on at a rather uniform pace but my mind does not. I frequently suffer from lapses of attention and eventually I totally lose my ability to follow the presentation and my motivation to stay alert. I even find myself falling asleep.
