ProblemA. IntroductionReading is an attempt to absorb the
thought of the author and know what the author isconveying
(Leedy 1956). Studying is the interpretation of reading
materials. Study habits andskills are particularly important for
college students, whose needs include time management,note
taking, Internet skill, the elimination of distractions, and
assigning a high priority tostudy. Fielden (2004) states that good
study habits help the student in critical reflection inskills
outcomes such as selecting, analyzing, critiquing, and
synthesizing. Nneji (2002) statesthat study habits are learning
tendencies that enable students work privately. Azikiwe
(1998)describes study habits as the way and manner a student
plans his or her private readingoutside lecture hours in order to
master a particular subject or topic. Study habits helpstudents
master their areas of specialization.The objective of this study is
to examine the study habits of undergraduate students inXavier
University, looking at duration, place of study, materials used
for study, and their main motivators. This study will help to
establish whether undergraduate students are on par with their
peers in other countries in the acquisition of intellectual skills.
