College is known to be the best and
most stressful time in someone’s life.
Stress has a major role in someone’s personal life and success in school. It is
important to understand how class and studying workload affects student’s
stress level and performance. In a study
performed in 2008, by the University of Minnesota, it was found that stress has
the biggest effect on a student’s GPA (Marcotty). There are many different sources of stress
for college students, especially freshman.
A gap in this
research is that people don’t know what factors they control that impacts stress.
Class workload and studying are big factors in stress. No one
has looked into how workload affects the stress and grades of students. This study surveyed 20 college freshmen at
the University of Iowa who were asked about workload, stress, and academic
performance. This research will provide
insight into how workload and stress affect academic performance.
