How do students

learn study skills?

 Why?
We decided to do a survey on how students learn different study
skills because of our interest in how it can affect someones GPA.
Our Survey
Our Survey continued...
continued...
 Questions we asked:
-What is your gender?

-What year are you expected to graduate?

-What college are you enrolled in?

-Who among these choices taught you specific studying techniques you use today to study for tests/exams?

-Is the faculty doing enough to effectively teach you studying skills?

-Do you use resources provided by the campus to help you study? If yes, what? If no, why not?

-What is your GPA?

 Gender
We had 32 male
respondents and 94 female.
 Grade Level
Here is the breakdown of the respondents we had by grade level:

-Freshman-24

-Sophomore-21

-Junior-20

-Senior-61
 College
Nearly all of the
respondents were from
the Teachers College,
Public Service, and
Liberal Arts and
Sciences College.
Faculty Assistance
 Do you use resources provided by the campus?
This question we
asked was open-
ended so
respondents could
write their own
specific answers
causing it to be
difficult to
analyze this data.
 GPA of respondents
Our female respondents
had a higher GPA than the
males. Data shows a higher
GPA was present among
the survey participants as
well.
 What we would improve:
In the future we would make all of our questions NOT open-ended.
By having an open-ended question it made some of our data unable
to be collected. Also, we would ask more specific questions on
whether study skills really correlate with GPA.
 Results
Overall we found that many students do not use
resources provided by the campus to study, and also
didnt believe that the faculty needed to help the
students study. Also, there was no direct correlation
between GPA and study skills.
