Study Habits Used by Students at the University of Technology

Abstract

The desire of students to study when there is a good chance provided to them is called study habits. When students are not having good habits, they can’t use effective study skills. Good study habits make one individual learn more quickly and soundly than the other.
 Good student is classified from the bad one according to good study habits. When especially there are video games to play, friends to gossip with and TV to watch, it's natural to not want to study.
 In the university life, study is an important part of it and there is no universal method that fits every student or subject. Largely, it is a matter of figuring out what works best for the student, this is called developing practical and good study habits. However, there are some useful methods and guidelines the student can follow to help maximize his/her learning.
 For this, a study habits questionnaire from (Virginia Gordon’s University Survey: 1997) was used to measure the study habits used by 58 B.A. of computer science students. Results show that most of the students don’t have good study habits and need help.
