different from the secondary school level. At the secondary school level,
learning includes explanation in detail by the teacher and is fully guided 1.
In addition, time allocation for the completion of an exercise is described,
scheduled, reminded and monitored. At the university level, on the other
hand, learning mostly takes place in lecture mode, which includes
superficial information and requires students’ self-learning to explore the
topic(s) further.2 The researchers have observed that university students
often complain about running out of time when they are assigned multiple
assignments, and thus feel frustrated for not being able to submit them
before the deadlines 3. This chapter reports a needs analysis survey
regarding time management skills among students in a local university. 4
Using self-evaluated questionnaire as a method of data collection, the
findings indicate that most of the respondents do need time management
skills for their academic responsibilities.5 the overall findings conclude that
most students, regardless of their nature of study and level of study
program need a proper guidance in managing their time effectively. Such
findings call for an intervention program for time management skills to be
drawn in assisting students in managing learning time on their own .6
