Relatedly, the Perrymodel, which depicts students’ epistemic orientations—i.e., how they value and respondto knowledge—indicates that freshmen are typically dualists, expecting information to beeither true or false, but by their senior years, students recognize the relativism inknowledge, and the role of discourse in establishing consensus.

As an example, Loomis1 reports a significant correlation between time managementand student performance in a Journalism on-line research course. Trueman and Hartley2 found amodest relationship between age, time management skill, and performance for first yearPsychology majors. The work we found that has been done in Engineering has focused more onstudent personality or learning styles, and time management3,4. As educators, we intuitively andanecdotally identify time management skill as an important determiner of student classroomperformance5 and of workplace productivity and professional success6. Yet

In particular,disciplines can be characterized by their theoretical and methodological worldviews.
