Description
Problem Balancing the hours
spent for studying for four classes.Hypothesis
I think I spend to many hours studying for math
and statistics and that leads me to get behind in
the other two classes that I have.

• For four weeks now I have gathered some data
  about how many hours I spend studying for each
  class.
• I also have recorded some data about where I have
  done all my studying at.

Analysis

• My findings in my project measure exactly up to
  my expectation. I do tend to study more for my
  math and statistic classes.
• I found that the variation of study hours for
  math and statistics classes is really excessive.
• One factor that contributes to the excessive
  hours I spend studying for statistics and math
  classes is that I tend to focus on the classes I
  have the most interest in and the classes I
  struggle the most in.
• I also found in my findings that I study at home
  a lot vs. the library ,car or other places.

Conclusion/Summary

• I believe I should try to study a bit more for my
  biology and my political science classes. I also
  think its better to study in the library vs. at
  home because there is less distractions in the
  library. Hopefully because of this project I can
  figure a way to distribute more hours for the
  classes I spend the least time on.

Quote of the Day!

• My belief, based on experience, is that 99 of
  the students who enter engineering have the brain
  power to graduate. Those who fail to graduate
  because of non-outside forces (eg. health,
  finances, personal problems, etc.) usually do so
  because of poor strategy, planning, study habits
  and methods.Stated by professor RosenKrantz.
