(ID: 103020) Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
ACADEMICS AREN’T THE PROBLEM
Studies about how students use their time might shed light on whether they face increased academic and financial pressures compared with earlier eras
Based on data about how students are spending time, academic or financial
pressures don’t seem to be greater now than a generation ago.(26) + (28)
The data show that full-time students in all types of colleges study much less now than they did a generation ago - a full 10 hours a week less Students are also receiving significantly higher grades So it appears that academic pressures are, in fact,
considerably lower than they used to be.(29)
The time-use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financial pressures, either When the time savings and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college
appears less expensive for most students than it was in the 1960s.(30) And though
there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less even when paid work choices are held constantly
In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to
work more.(33) They appear to be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun.(27) It seems hard to imagine that students feeling increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure.(34)
Based on how students are spending their time, then, it doesn’t look as though academic or financial pressures are greater now than a generation ago The time- use data don't speak directly to social pressures, and it may well be that these have become more intense lately
In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per week either socializing with friends or playing on the Computer for fun Social
activities, in person or on Computer, would seem to have become the major focus of
