Another study was conducted to assess the impact of social networking usage on grades
among college students with negative correlation between Facebook and academic achievement. An online
questionnaire was sent by e-mail to all students . The time spent on
social networking sites was mostly on Facebook (78.3%) majority of students (77.2%) is student grade 6. Interestingly the study also found that students with GPA below 2.5 spent an average of
61 to 90 minutes a day on Facebook while those with a GPA of between 2.50-3.00 and 3.00– 3.50 spent an average
of 46 to 60 minutes a day where as students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher were found to spend an average of 31 to 45
minutes a day.
In summary, the differences in methodologywill have different result, such as online questionnaire (Stollak et al.,
2011), questionnaire via random digital dialing telephone method (Pasek 2009), directinterview (Karpinski 2009);
will have different results. Our study interesting similar to study by Karpinski in 2009 but the results were different.
Result fromKarpinski’s study showed negative correlation but our study on Biomedical Science students showed no
