Seniors were more likely to get help from various on-campus sources such as OIT, or to read manuals or get information from the Internet. Figure 7 shows these trends. Figure 8 shows these proportions. The next set of questions pertained to Internet use. Figure 9 shows that the most common activities that students engage in on the Internet are reading e-mail and accessing information about their academic courses.
Students are least likely to use the Internet for building Web pages or reading newsgroups.
The last set of questions asked students about their use of public labs on campus such as ones located at the library, or in the residence halls. Seniors were also more likely than those in other classes to use public computer labs on a daily basis. Finally, all respondents were asked how many years they have been using computers.
