THE IMPACT OF TIME MANAGEMENT ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
Time is one of the most important resources in our life. Effective time management is a skill that most people should utilize out of their professional and personal lives. Time management can make the difference between a mediocre and superior performance to a university student. Managing time in university life can be challenging and yet it is very important to a student’s success. In our project we’re trying to represent the impact of time management on students in their university life. The general aim of this survey was to find out the best way of student’s time management in their university life.
An online form was chosen as a medium to conduct our group’s survey for the data collection by using Google Form and students of School of Computing in UTM are our target population. A total of 107 respondents were selected randomly from School of Computing students in this survey. Method that our group used to collect the data is by distributing the online survey link over the internet such as WhatsApp and Telegram applications.
Based on our survey we have received 107 responses then we used Microsoft Excel and RStudio for visualizing our data. For better data analysis we mostly used R, which is a programming language and open source software environment for statistical computing and graphics data analysis. Before that, we converted our raw excel responses to csv files for inserting our whole data set into RStudio. And we proceed to construct all charts and graphs by using R script.
In conclusion, time spent by students in their daily life affects their academic performance at university. Students must allocate their time wisely for certain activities because time management is very important in order to excel in your studies as well as excel in your life. Throughout our studies, we find out that most of the students get enough sleep and they realize how important getting enough rest and sleep is in their life. Students also realize how vital it is to exercise regularly but most of the students only exercise once in a week. Furthermore, students find that hanging out and going on dates will not give positive effects towards their studies. Some students do agree that playing games can affect their academic performance in a positive way. Lastly, students realize that activities that they spend in their life will affect their performance positively or negatively
