The last table shows the preferences of the STEM students on how they study.

When
learning a principle or definition with the attempt to think of at least to
examples of how it might be applied or what it relates to, 57.5% or the majority of
the respondents try to think of at least two examples, while 22.5% do not try of
thinking at least two examples, this could mean that they do not think of any at
all or that they think of more than just two examples, 20% of them try this
technique sometimes if they feel the need to. When learning a material, 60% of the
respondents ask self-questions and study until he/she is able to answer the self-
made questions. The majority of the respondents find testing or stimulating
themselves with questions that might possibly come out effective. 22.5% of them
responded no, as they may try to look up for references not coming from theirs, or
do not ask any questions at all. 17.5% of them seem to do it when they feel like
it. When briefly examining a chapter inorder to list as many questions as possible
about the material, 32.5% answered yes and sometimes, while 35% of the respondents
answered no. Those who answered yes and sometimes do briefly examine a chapter and
find listing as many questions as possible effective, this number of people shows
that almost half of the student number give efforts in formulating or listing
questions that they might use in the future, in anyway as long as they can utilize
these questions. Half of the student number on the other hand, do not bother
examining a chapter just to list as many questions as possible, but since it is
beyond the study's reach of knowing, it could also mean that they skip the brief
examination and proceed to the actual listing already. Next is listing additional
questions that are answerable, it is mostly similar in meaning and context with the
previous question thus, having also very similar results of 32.5% respondents
answering yes and no, and 35% answered sometimes. When putting down while trying to
recite what has just been read, a whopping 77.5% of the respondents actually
implement this technique or study habit as this method tries to put the students in
stimulation, thus testing them with their limits. Only 5% do not do this, but it
doesn't mean that they do not apply a similar technique, but then some do not
actually do this at all. and 17.5% do this sometimes. The last question is about
reciting the textual material until the reviewee always does remember it, 70%
implement this technique, 7.5% do not do the exact same thing but associates
similar style, or do not do this at all, 22.5% do this sometimes. All in all,
considering the interrelated contexts of the questions, students almost always
prefer the reciting part, where they stimulate the examination in their heads, or
ask questions that could possibly come out until they know every answer cold.
