Assessing student academic time use: assumptions, predictions and realities

ConclusionsAlthough curriculum reform efforts may always require that some assumptions be made, time logging can quantify students ’ academic use of time. Although students predict their use of time more accurately than do faculty staff, negligible changes in students’ academic time use despite reported desires to make changes indicate that students’ academic time use may remain inelastic. Educators must consider these fi ndings as they design curricula, identify academic rigour, and establish student expectations of academic time use.
