Is it possible? Yes.
Can you set a time? Yeah but you need an outside method to set the time of execution for the script.

Personally, I would say that this is not the place to discuss or offer information on how to do a DOS attack. I realise that the information is purported to be for coursework, however, others could use the ideas to try their own attacks.

Should you wish to discuss the topic with the OP, please do so via PM or e-mail and not on the main board.

Thanks,
Mac
