Abstract
If students are not studying seriously and not performing well, many factors can be responsible for this inadequate study behavior. For example, the contents of the program may be boring to the students and not appealing to their interests; the students may find the lecturers dull because the teachers rattle off their lectures in the way they are accustomed to; the program has no interesting assignments in which students are challenged; or the social program of the students is so demanding that there is little time left for study. These, and many other, factors can affect the study behavior of students. From evaluation studies it became apparent that all the factors mentioned above had had a negative influence in the past.
