I- Define a problem

Learning and grades at the university level are two closely related
concepts in the training and assessment process:

Learning is a process of constantly cultivating and perfecting new

knowledge, experiences, values, perceptions or possessions related to the
synthesis of different information.– College grades are an assessment
system used to measure student learning outcomes in a course or an
entire educational program.

II- Differences in results at university and high school levels

For high school level: The main method is that teachers combine lectures
with questions and answers, sometimes with little discussion and few
presentations in class. Secondary courses provide a comprehensive
education in a variety of subjects and focus on developing basic
knowledge and skills. From 0 to 10 is a common scale that has a great
influence on the assessment of block learning results and general
knowledge.

For University level: Teachers only act as instructors for students.

Teachers search for documents, discuss, research the teacher's assigned
content, answer questions and summarize the subject content. University
courses are often intensive and require students to have a high level of
understanding and critical thinking. The results can influence continued
study at a higher level as well as employment and development
opportunities. Grading is often done using a variety of numerical systems,
such as GPA on a 4.0 scale or letter system.
Due to this change, many students are confused about studying and want
to find an effective way to study. To address the former, here are some
college-level study methods:

Learning pyramid: This is a method widely used by the American Institute

for Educational Research in the 1960s. As a result, we can only remember
5% of what was taught to us but we can remember up to 90% of what we
teach others.
Self-study: This is a method of self-study, research, accumulation of
knowledge and self-training to acquire skills. During this process, students
must pay close attention and form the habit of spending time and space
for self-study during the day. Self-study requires students to combine
note-taking skills, download documents and save them for use. for lessons
or as needed.
Group learning: This is a form of cooperative learning to improve the
quality of each member's learning through friends through the process of

5
exchanging, participating and sharing common learning tasks, so that
learning Progress happens in many ways.

III- Current situation, consequences and urgency of resolution

Through the above issue, it helps students better understand how to study
in a university environment. The importance of qualifications and their
impact on lifelong learning, career development and future opportunities.

1. Current situation of students

Many university students struggle with managing their time effectively.

The demands of coursework, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, and
social obligations often leave little room for personal time or self-care. As
a result, students may find themselves overwhelmed, constantly rushing
to meet deadlines, and experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety.

2. Consequences of this problem

The consequences of poor time management skills among university

students can be significant. Unmanaged time leads to increased stress
levels, decreased motivation, compromised academic performance,
missed deadlines, and reduced opportunities for personal growth and
development.
Additionally, it can create a cycle of procrastination and ineffective study
habits that persist beyond the university years, impacting future
professional and personal endeavors.

3. Necessity to solve this problem

It is necessary to address the lack of effective time management skills

among university students due to its detrimental effects on their
academic performance and overall well-being. By providing students with
the tools and knowledge to manage their time more efficiently, we can
alleviate stress, enhance productivity, and foster a healthier university
experience. Students who develop strong time management skills are
better equipped to succeed academically and maintain a more balanced
lifestyle.
