The obvious answer would be at home of course, but there were times where I managed to find time to do some of it at school. I always managed to have a study hall period that I took full advantage of. Also, in any free moment, I did my Homework. There were just some days where I had so much that I knew it was going to take me all night when I got home. So I had to be creative with my time in getting it done, getting some of it done when I was still at school. So where did you do your homework?

In the library, at school, or at home, I did my homework where ever I got the chance. If it was easy, then I did it at school, and I got it done within a matter of minutes, if it was mildly easy, I did it in the library, and if it was more difficult, I would do it at home or at school depending on where I could get help on it. Sometimes, homework could be a big challenge for me.

Seizing any opportunity, that is the name of the game. Every free moment, is a time to potentially get something done for homework. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Well me I always do my homework at home because I can't really do my homework anywhere else because than I get distracted and I won't end up doing it even in a library I can't do my homework because I get distracted by everything. Besides it's more comfortable to do homework at home because than you really won't have any distractions. SO yeah I will stick to doing my homework at home.

There are many people that I knew it school that were like that. Nothing could really be done until they got home. After all, not everyone can focus under a lot of distractions or even a few. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Of course, the best place of all to get homework done was at home, but what fun is that? I often took my homework to a friend's house where we did our homework together. it didn't seem so much like real homework that way. i saw kids doing their homework on the school bus sometimes. I never did that myself. How can you concentrate on a homework assignment with so many rowdy children on a crowded school bus anyway?

I never could do anything on a school bus. Not only was it noisy and chaotic. But it was also in transit. So it was not going to get done. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

In class!haha before the class starts. I will be early for class and tend to copy some answers if I really don't know the answer.hehe Sometimes when I have free time or if it is break time, I'll do it. But big or long projects, I'll do it at home. Sometimes, I go to the library to research and make my projects there. Sometimes, in an open area. I really love to hangout on one of the fields in our university and I love to do my homework there too. It depends on where I want to make it with the convenience and time it takes.

Very true, different subjects really did mandate that I tackle the work in different areas. Projects were a more steady thing that I pretty much had little choice but to take home. Other things, I took the free time that I could. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yeah that is bad when the neighbors are too loud. When you are doing any work, whether it be school or otherwise. There are just times where you have to go to quieter grounds. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

As I am a naughty boy, I always try to finish my homework at school, because I just want to play and relax at home. In my opinion,we should never force ourselves to do homework when you want to play. But it is necessary to do homework, so I finish it at school, then I can play with no worries at home. As the saying goes, do not do two things at one time. On the other hand, different people have different choices, what we have to do is to get the one fits best.

Yeah, as I've said, if we have the chance to get it done before I even got home, then so much the better. After all, eight hours a day and then after that, I'm pretty much done with school. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I like doing my homework and studying at the campus library. Sometimes when I have classes that are a few hours apart and I don't want to go home, I go to the library to do assignments and study. Sometimes I study in the empty lecture halls when there are no classes. It's actually kind of cool being all alone in a empty hall studying.

Yeah, it would be interesting being in an empty hall. Plenty of room and nice and quiet as well. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

When I was in high school I did my homework most of the time in the cafeteria before school, or during classes. Sometimes I would do homework before class began, not necessarily for the class I was going to but for another class. Other times I would do homework in the library during lunch. I'd sneak food in and munch on it while I did homework with friends and acquaintences.

Yes eating and doing homework did help me as well, it definitely helps with concentration and actually the library was a lot quieter then home was when it came to getting work done. I love my grandparents, but they are old after all and the t.v. was always (and probably still is always) turned up too loud.

A quite bite to eat sometimes got me going. Of course, not all of the time, but a lot of the times, that is what allowed me to get most of everything completed. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Hi, When I was in my primary and high school, I did my homework at home. Sometimes, if I have some free time at school, I try to finish whatever I can at school,so I will have more free time at home. During my university level, sometimes, I will stay back in the library to do my homework. Sametime I can have a group study with my friends.

Yes, that is always tbe best. I'm at school and in the school frame of mind, so I try to get most of it done at school. When I am out of there, it tends to take a little bit longer. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

yes, at Home, My Grandfather was a teacher in the same school and first thing we used to do in the evening after coming back from games, was doing homework because Grandpa used to check that before he goes to sleep. Failing that there was some punishment for sure which no one can cancel in any case. I was pantual in case of home work.

Yeah, I always had to do homework when I got home the first thing should I have any. That is always for the best. You never do know when an assignment might take a bit of time to do. Best to get it out of the way straight away. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Back in college, I was so lazy to do some homeworks at home so I have to do it in the canteen or library before going to class. Lol. I guess that students do the same still especially when the homework is hard and so they have to consult some classmates about it to solve especially those that involve numbers like math...

I guess I was similar to you. I use to do my work at school as well. We didn't have a study hall though. I would do my before classes started and even in between classes. I would do my homework during class as well. But when I did manage to take some home, I would always lay in my bed and do it. I still do that now with my college work. My husband says its a bad habit because yu cant lay down and study, but I can.

I think with laying down and studying, some can and some really cannot do it. I have a lot of the time, but there are sometimes where I just feel like sitting up. So it really depends on the day for me. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I do my homework at school so when i got home i can be able to do anything i want. Doing homework at school is also an advantage since you can have access to books in the library and internet on the computer lab. You can also compare notes with your classmates too.

Very true, my free time is something that I valued. I had dealt with school for eight hours. I didn't really want to deal with much more when I got home. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I do my homework at home most of the time. Usually I allot about an hour or two for resting and relaxing when I get home. Only then do I start my homework. I prefer to work in a quiet environment, away from distractions such as the tv or the computer, so I can focus on my work. Work gets done so much easier and faster that way.

I hear you about a quiet environment. There are a lot of distractions that can really slow down the actual work, so I really got to find a place that is nice and quiet. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I've done my homework pretty much everywhere. I'm a film student and most of my homework involves technology and software that I don't have at home. I have to go up to the school to do a large part of my homework. My written homework for my other classes I usually wind up doing in the library or at home (and if I'm really desperate the train ride to school!).

That is a good point. If you don't have the materials needed, then you kind of are forced to do it at school. I've found myself in that situation many times for projects and the like. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

When I was still a student.., I don't want to got to school not prepared for anything like home works..,and studying in advance for any possibilities of pop up quiz.., even if there is only limited time to study and do the home works at home.., I'll finish it even if I don't get enough sleep..=)

That is a pretty good attitude to take, but there are times where time works against you. At least that's what it did to me. Still you got to make do with what free time you have. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I don't have much homework now that I'm in college but the little that I have, I do at home or during my large breaks in-between classes. I do prefer doing them at home where I could concentrate and use the Internet. When I get to school, I would recheck my homework by comparing them with my classmates'.

Internet access is important to have. If it is at school and easily accessed, great, but there were times where we could not access it, unless we needed it for a computer class. So we needed to do it at home, because the Internet was needed for many assignments. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

i used to do my abundant homework at school too...u know that at home,there's a lot of distraction such as television, computer and so on..the important is the mood of doing homework will lose when u at home and feels lazy but school there's a feeling to do it

Yes, that is very true. When I am in school, then I am in the frame of mind to get school work done during school hours. That frame of mind tended to shift when I got home. So it was just as well that I got the vast bulk of it done when I was at school. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Sometimes, I would finish it in the last few minutes of class or during lunch(like a nerd) but sometimes I would take it home and have a snack. I would tell myself that after finishing a problem or reading something I would eat a chip or a cookie to make sure I would get them right. Make sure that when you're taking a test to take the most time you can on every problem to make sure you have a 90% chance of getting it right. Also, studies show that 75% of your first choices are correct. Its just a matter of choosing which ones are right and wrong when you want a higher grade such as my graduating 3.9 GPA :-)

I studied for an afternoon test at lunch sometimes. So don't feel bad. I also more often than not got a higher grade. It wasn't anything really extensive, just a quick look through of the chapter summaries in most case, but still, better than nothing. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.
