In May 1985 a questionnaire was administered to about 2,600 ninth and twelfth grade students representing all of Detroit's (Michigan) public high schools. The purposes of this survey were to facilitate further evaluation of the Uniform Code of Student Conduct Component, and to collect data for a study of high school homework and students' study habits. This report presents results, a mixture of favorable and unfavorable findings, of the homework and study skills study. On the positive side, response data supported conclusions that, on the average, Detroit students spend more time on homework than the national average; that a majority of students do their homework in a quiet place at home, complete most or all of their homework, and have confidence in their ability to study for tests; and that a majority of teachers clearly explain how homework is to be done, correct and grade homework, and return it quite promptly to students. On the negative side, findings provided evidence that too many students do not practice good homework and study habits; and that many high school teachers usually do not explain the purpose of homework, normally give the same homework assignment to all members of their classes, devote very little time to teaching study skills, and are perceived by students to be unwilling to give special help with school work outside of class.
