Compare and contrast "nonperformance" with "procrastination."

What will be an ideal response?


Both are strategies students engage in that are designed to "protect" their self-worth. Nonperformance refers to a protective strategy where a student avoids the possibility of failure by not engaging in tasks. Procrastination involves putting off doing something until the last minute, making it nearly impossible to complete a task in a thorough way. This strategy deflects attention away from the possibility that they are incompetent.
