I feel the circle graph offers a better interpretation to the information collected. My reasoning is because I find the circle graph to be more efficient at portraying how the gathered tasks are denoted. It boils down to being much simpler to read and determine what activities were done and for how long. When assembling and reading the circle graph there is no need for estimating how much time is spent on each action.

According to the data I collected, I feel that I’m right on track as to where my study habits should be. I’m aware of the studies that state for every hour you spend in class, you should do two hours of studying for that particular subject. My opinion is that I’m right where I need to be.

It’s been a good learning experience for me these past few years. In my high school and the first few years of college, I showed the worst study habits imaginable. I feel I have grown from these events and have learned how important it is to “buckle down” and pursue my studies as opposed to disregarding them. I take them far more seriously now and am proud of myself for realizing this. After all, the alternative is being stuck in an unsatisfying, dead end job.
