IntroductionWHO TAKES LONGER TO GET READY FOR SCHOOL?

SENIOR OR FRESHMAN?

This assignment is an analysis of student behavior. We were given the task to conduct an experiment on the time management of student against their age. Two groups of students were chosen, freshman (AGED13) and seniors (AGED 16). We had to interview 50 freshmen’s and 50 senior’s.

In order to complete this assignment, we had to interview school students from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sri Acmar and ask them about their

daily school-morning routine. We had prepared 10 questions about their daily routine. The questions are as follows;

1. How long do you take to reach school on a daily basis?2. What transport do you take to come to school?3. How far is your home from your school?4. How long do you take to get ready for school?5. Are you active in school?6. What time do you sleep at night during school days?7. What time do you wake up on school days?8. How long do you take your shower?9. Do you have your breakfast?10. If yes, how long do you take your breakfast?

Ideally, the group of students who takes the longest time to get ready would arrive to school late. Therefore, we made this idea our primary goal to Identify which age group gets ready for school longer. After conducting this experiment, we calculated and analyzed the data collected into various types of charts.

DISCUSSION15

A few more questions have been asked to strengthen our assignment.We have taken the time to interview a few students from each group to ask them about their daily-morning routines. We also shared our daily routines with them and gave them the inside-details of being a college student. Here are some of the questions and answers with the students;

1. What is the first thing you do when you get up every morning?Most freshmen’s usually have their bath whereas most senior’s answered brushing teeth.

2. Are your parents working?Almost 80% students answered Yes whereas a few said No

3. Do you love going to school? Why? Most freshmen’s said YES because they are able to talk to friends And play whereas the seniors said NO because the exams are harder.

4. Do you go online on school nights?Both freshmen’s and seniors agree on going online.

5. What do you do when you arrive in school?Most freshmen’s answered help the teachers whereas most seniors answered chat with friends.

16

CONCLUSIONFreshmen’s are students aged form 1 (13 years old) and seniors are students aged form 4 (16 years old ) both have different daily-morning routines. Both groups have different sleeping regimens and morning routines. Some students plan their mornings precisely whereas others are in a rush.

We have identified that students that live further away from their school have to start their mornings earlier whereas students who live close by their school are able to start their mornings later.

After calculating and analyzing the data given, we have concluded that seniors take a longer time to get ready for school. Although looking at the data, it might seem that it’s a tie, however, seniors sleep later than most freshmen’s and wake up much later than most freshmen’s as well. They take a longer time to get ready and most of them do not have their breakfast.

With these reasons, we conclude that senior’s take a longer time to get ready for school.
