This chart illustrates the types of reading which
occupy most social students’ time during their studying. Y axis shows the
number of students, who chose a particular type of reading. Meanwhile, X axis
displays the studying year. All in all 4 types of reading were examined: (1)
literature in major subjects, (2) literature in subjects other that major, (3)
reading for pleasure, and (4) news.
As it can be seen from the chart, the most time
consuming reading remains reading for major subjects. Although the number of
people who chose it fluctuated from one year to another, the minimum does not
fall less than 6 people. It proves that social science students try to
correspond to high standards of university education, dedicating most of their
time to reading profession-oriented literature.
The chart also shows that on the first year of
studying students pay equal attention both to their major subject, and to other
subjects. In the course of time, students pay less attention to other subjects.
It can be explained by peculiarities of university syllabus. Staring from
general subjects, students gradually concentrate on the main disciplines.
As for reading for pleasure, the chart illustrates
that it remains almost stable with a slight decrease on the second year.
Whereas number of students who prefer reading news increases, with its maximum
on the fifth year.
