The Working Student

Survey
Jordan Fox-Fick, Cesar TorresGonzalez, Abbie Prescott

Survey Questions:
1. What class are you in?
2. Are you in Barrett?
3. How many credits are you currently enrolled in?
4. What is your current GPA?
5. How many hours do you spend on homework per week?
6. Do you have a job outside of being a student?
7. If yes, how many hours do you work per week on average?
Objective: Analyze the correlation between working and GPA

What class are you in?

Are you in Barrett the Honors College?

How many credits are you currently enrolled in?

What is your current GPA?

How many hours per week do you spend on

homework?

Do you currently have a job outside of being a

student?

If you do have a job, how many hours do you work

on average per week?

Average GPA vs. Hours Worked

What we learned
There is not a major correlation between the amount of hours worked and a students
GPA
One could argue that working less does lead to a higher GPA (as seen by the data from
the freshman class)
Important to note: we did not have many freshman respondents which could have
skewed our data
The sophomores had the lowest average GPAs, however they were our highest
respondents therefore they had many different responses that factored into their
average

What we would do differently

Some of our questions were unnecessary to analyze our data (such as the Barrett
question and the hours spent on homework) so more effective survey questions
Although we did not have control over this, in a real survey it would be important that
we receive the same amount of responses from each class so we do not skew our data
