Summary:
In the article, the author Elana-Simona references S.S. Boroujerdi and K. Hasani who
explain what the E-Platform is and how it can be beneficial for students to participate in. The
author recognizes how busy college students can be, and how difficult it can be to try and
balance multiple things going on during the week or day. They also recognize that some students
do not pick up on learning or start the week of their exam date and how that is not a lot of time to
consume that much information. It is also recognized that everyones schedule is different, and
how some students may not be as involved with extra activities as others. They suggest that EPlatform can help students be more aware and make a plan on how to better manage their time
no matter how much they are involved in.

The program offered a Time Management Questionnaire that came to the conclusion that
students who were enrolled in more online classes had more time management skills than those
who were not enrolled in online courses. The program and questionnaire also gave results that
linked academic achievement with time management. The students who had achieved more and
wanted to do well in school spent more time practicing time management skills. The study also
showed a reflection on the economy and how a good economy correlated with better schooling
and time management. Overall, S.S Boroujerdi and K. Hasani state the students presented a wellrounded and positive interest while taking part in the study.
