This research project studied how many hours students at ASU can work without affecting their studies. It found that most students work 13.7 hours per week, within reasonable limits. While freshmen work more than upperclassmen, most students believe they can balance work and school responsibilities. The majority of students, including half of freshmen, report their GPA remaining the same or increasing while working. Therefore, the conclusion is that ASU students can generally handle moderate levels of work without harming their academic performance.

Zamora Years of Study ● The majority of students in EDT are freshmen. ● More than half of the percentage of EDT students are freshmen. ● Seniors represent only 5% of the class. Weekly Hours ● On average, students work 13.7 hours per week. ● The maximum number of weekly hours worked was 45 hours. ● The median was 6.9 hours. ● Three quarters of students work less than 2o hours a week. Days or Nights ● Most freshmen are working in the morning only or both day and nights. ● The amount of sophomore, junior and senior working is much lower than freshmen. ● Most people don’t think work at night is good for their On Campus or Off Campus ● Overall, more students work off campus than on campus. ● Out of the 89 respondents, 70 students work off campus, and 42% of those students are freshmen. ● The freshmen who work on campus make up 16% of students in EDT. Responsibility Scale ● 21 students believe they can handle working and attending classes responsibly at an 8. ● The median lies in the middle of number 7. ● Only 13 students responded below 5 to adequately manage all responsibilities. Changes in GPA ● Nearly half of freshmen students believe their GPA has remained the same while holding a job. ● For all years of study, an equal number of students feel their GPA has increased as well as decreased. Conclusion 1. Freshmen work more than higher grades in ASU and they usually only work during the day, so they might have free time to study at night. 2. Most students choose to work off campus and according to the weekly hour, they are not overworked, so they can adjust their study and work time well. 3. In the responsibility scale, the mode displays that most students can adequately grasp the balance between study and work. 4. Most students think their grades are not seriously affected by their jobs. Therefore, students in ASU can well handle their working with studying.
