Late, late, late... seems like everything is running late these days. I finished my last course almost three weeks ago. Since then I started PHY107 - Ethics. And I went on vacation, and I kicked off a new project at work, and I totally swamped myself and now I have late work for school, and I am in the dulldrums about it. The reading in this course is so boring that I can't get through it. I literally fall asleep within a couple of minutes of reading, which is making it difficult to get the work caught up. This is the first time that I am struggling at this and it is frustrating as hell, but I know that the rewards are there at the end, so I need to tough it out.

So I have a question, what strategies did you use to get through courses that were so boring that you could not get through the reading material? I know this must happen to everyone, so how do other people handle it? What is funny to me is that I find the topic of ethics very interesting, but the text book is unbearably dull!
