Survey Statistic Analysis

By Xiaohan Zhao

  We decided to do a survey among Drexel students about procrastination. We designed ten questions composed of eight multiple choices and two open questions. We sent the survey through the internet and got forty of them filled in. There are only two people out of forty think that they are not procrastinators, so everyone else considers themselves a procrastinator in some degrees. Eighty percents people chose that they often or sometimes put off things until the last minutes. “Don’t know how to start” and “being lazy” are the reasons that make most people procrastinate. Twenty out of forty people start their homework one to two days before the deadline. About eight people start homework at that day or three to seven days before the deadline. About ninety percents people think that they could have better homework quality if they have more time. For the open questions, most people wrote they were entertaining such as watching TV or playing cell phones instead of doing their homework. The result of the last questions, which is have you ever try to solve this problem, is very interesting. Only half of the people said yes, and they know how doing it such as set a calender. Those people said no to this question because they do not know how to make it works.
