The 'College Study Habits' infographic is a look at how the opinions and work tendencies of students compare to how professors feel they should be. As professors are 46 percent of students' university mentors, they are incredibly influential on their studies, but how does this compare with study habits?
Unsurprisingly, a majority of professors agree that starting an assignment the day it's assigned is the best bet, and only 17 percent of students heed this advice. However, it's not too bad that an approximate 46 percent of students are starting a couple weeks before the turn-in date, and only 5 percent the night before.
What students and professors do seem to agree on fully is studying times on a nightly basis; both prefer an approximate 1-2 hours.
