Years of Study
● The majority of
students in EDT
are freshmen.
● More than half of
the percentage of
EDT students are
freshmen.
● Seniors represent
only 5% of the
class.
Weekly Hours
● On average, students
work 13.7 hours per
week.
● The maximum number
of weekly hours
worked was 45 hours.
● The median was 6.9
hours.
● Three quarters of
students work less
than 2o hours a week.
Days or Nights
● Most freshmen are
working in the
morning only or both
day and nights.
● The amount of
sophomore, junior and
senior working is
much lower than
freshmen.
● Most people don’t
think work at night is
good for their
On Campus or Off Campus ● Overall, more
students work off
campus than on
campus.
● Out of the 89
respondents, 70
students work off
campus, and 42% of
those students are
freshmen.
● The freshmen who
work on campus
make up 16% of
students in EDT.
Responsibility Scale
● 21 students believe
they can handle
working and
attending classes
responsibly at an 8.
● The median lies in the
middle of number 7.
● Only 13 students
responded below 5 to
adequately manage
all responsibilities.
Changes in GPA
● Nearly half of freshmen
students believe their
GPA has remained the
same while holding a job.
● For all years of study,
an equal number of
students feel their GPA
has increased as well as
decreased.
Conclusion
1. Freshmen work more than higher grades in ASU and they usually
only work during the day, so they might have free time to study at
night.
2. Most students choose to work off campus and according to the
weekly hour, they are not overworked, so they can adjust their
study and work time well.
3. In the responsibility scale, the mode displays that most students
can adequately grasp the balance between study and work.
4. Most students think their grades are not seriously affected by their
jobs. Therefore, students in ASU can well handle their working with
studying.
