 Chinese students are studying in the UK. (undergraduate & postgraduate).


（Piers Steel, 2007）“Procrastination is extremely prevalent,” Piers Steel, a business professor at the University of Calgary, noted in a 2007 study. “Estimates indicate that 80 to 95%of college students engage in procrastination, approximately 75 % consider themselves procrastinators, and almost 50% procrastinate consistently and problematically.”


A survey shows that more than 80% of college students have procrastinated, and more than 50% of students procrastinate frequently. Procrastination has become a behavioural problem that plagues students' studies. Academic procrastination is often manifested in issues such as final essay writing, exam preparation, and designated homework.


A survey by the Student Psychological Counseling Center of Beijing Language and Culture University found that 100% of international students suffer from procrastination (chart below).

An article (2014) in the British Guardian “Why aren't Chinese students at UK universities getting top degrees?” pointed out that due to changes in socio-economic background, Chinese students have failed to find suitable learning methods. Inconsistent education systems will lead to Unsatisfactory performance and other phenomena.

The degree project 'Study up' is an application for Mac OS devices, The purpose of this app project is to help university students relieve academic procrastination. The final project outcome is a link to the interactive prototype made by Axure RP10, and a promotional poster with a QR code, which is also suitable for flyers and website advertising. This prototype link can be opened by mac and windows system computers or iPad devices. It is not recommended to open it on mobile phones. Because the original intention of the design is to try not to let users be Cell phone interruption. This project is highly related to interactive art design and digital media art.

I have a student license, so I can use it for free.  The page size of the app I designed is 1440 1020, I imported all the artwork of the Figma into Axure, and then I can carry out the next step of interface design and interaction design in Axure.  After I put in the icons and illustrations, I started to interact with the interactive buttons on each page. Although the button fingertip interaction is relatively easy, it is very troublesome and trivial. If one of the buttons is not set to interact, the user will not be able to use it smoothly. Although the button fingertip interaction is relatively easy, it is very troublesome and trivial.
