How Keiser University Students Manage their Time This report shows the results of a survey that we implement on 26 students from Keiser University in San Marcos, Carazo. The purpose of this survey is to know how students organize their time inside the university, and at their homes. In addition, the survey has the intention to give some pieces of advice about how to manage the time and achieve academic success. 1. How much time do you study at home or in your free time?

Finding: The graph shows that 34.6% of surveyed study two hours, 30.8% only study one hour, 23.1% study between two to three hours, and only 11.5% study more than three hours. Analysis: From the results, we can deduce that although all the students dedicate time to study at home or during their free time, but most of them study less than two hours, which is not enough when they are studying their major. Only a small percentage of 11.5% study more than four hours. 2. When a test is coming?

Finding: When a test is coming, 76.9% of surveyed study with anticipation, but the other 23.1% study until the last time. Analysis: From the graph, we can analyze that the majority of students are responsible and study with sufficient anticipation for a test. On the other hand, we can see a lower percentage that studies until the last time, which means that maintaining good grades is not important. 3. How do you complete your assignments on time?

Finding: 57.7% of students always complete their assignments on time, 38.5% frequently, and only 3.8% complete their assignments on time. Analysis: From the results, we can deduce the most of students always complete their assignments on time, but we continue to observe that a significant percentage that does not complete it on time. This could mean that they are not responsible enough, or that they have many distractions in their environment. 4. Are you satisfied with the way you use your time? Finding: 50% of surveyed are satisfied whit the way they use their time. On the other hand, we have the same number of people who are not satisfied. Analysis: The numbers do not lie.

In addition, a small percentage of students prefer to use the old method, organize their activities in an agenda or calendar. 6. Do you have specific and clear academic goals?
