My Conclusions

My overall findings conclude that the university is an area of learning and has a wealth of hidden knowledge tucked inside it's campus. I feel that what is important to students is a little bit different than what is important to the professors of UWEC. Yes, the students care about their grades and classes, but many are not as concerned as they should be with learning the presented material. This is supported in my findings with student study habits. Some were staying up in the wee hours of the night studying, yet why didn't they start studying a week ago if they were so concerned with learning all of the material? I also think that students (not all) are more concerned with the social aspect of college. To me I believe that you have to find the right balance between your academic life and your social life. You can go out on the weekends and have a good time with friends but a certain amount of focus needs to be given to studies.

I believe that professors want to educate the students and actually want them to understand the material. They are willing to do email, have office hours, and hold study sessions for the students to do well. However, they are certain professors who have a different agenda. I have witnessed some unnamed professors that shut their doors and turn their backs when students need help. When almost 60% of a class fails an exam, they feel it is the students fault that they didn't study enough or know the material (I had a professor like this last semester). In general though, professors want to help the students become the best that they can be.
