List of common problems and findings:
Hardest classes include Finance and Accounting related classes.
People tend to struggle with math the most.
People tend to procrastinate, which adds to their stress levels.
Exercise and sleep will help lower peoples' stress levels.
Summary:
After thorough research, we have found common problems and findings related to students' academic life. I wanted to find which specific classes students tend to struggle with to gauge the courses that are most difficult. My findings show that students tend to struggle with finance and accounting related classes. Furthermore, I wanted to see which type of subjects students find the most difficult, and if these subjects align with the finance and accounting related courses. My findings show that there is a correlation between the two. Most students found math to be most difficult, and finance and accounting courses involve heavy quantitative analysis. Another common finding we discovered is the tendency for students to procrastinate. Students who procrastinate say this negative habit contributes to higher stress levels. This correlation shows that students should strive to finish their work in a timely manner. Lastly, common steps students take to lower their stress levels involve exercise and sleep. This finding was not very surprising as there is significant scientific evidence showing these two practices will lower an individual's stress level.
Problem Statement:
Students must resist procrastination, complete their work in a timely manner, and maintain healthy habits such as exercise and sleep to perform well in their most difficult courses and academic life.
