    4. Literature Review Students generally study alone (Kuo, Hagie & Miller, 2004). Students lack self-efficacy and self-regulation (Hall & Ponton, 2005; Young & Ley, 2000). Students report spending less time studying in college than they expected to spend (Kuh, 2007). Homework collection increases study time (Cerrito & Levi, 1999). Students benefit from online homework (Kodippil & Senaratne , 2008). Retention is affected by engagement (Tinto, 1993; Graunke & Woosley, 2005).

    5. Methods Institutional Review Board approval obtained Participant Consent Forms completed Student Interviews completed three semesters In our offices Not a student-completed survey Student Study Journals kept one semester Recorded time spent on studying Completed in and out of class
