This study was focused on better understanding the time estimation accuracy of undergraduate students enrolled in a learning to learn course. Students completed a course assignment which asked them to consider an academic task they planned to complete in the coming week. Then, half of the students completed a four-question reflection where they considered aspects of the task (i.e., similarity to previous tasks, challenge of previous task, anticipated challenge, and anticipated obstacles) while the other half did not complete a reflection. Next, students estimated the number of minutes they expected the task to take, completed the task, and reported the number of minutes the task actually took. Results indicated that, in contrast to previous research (Boltz & Yum, 2010; Buehler, Griffin, & Ross, 1994), students tended to overestimate the amount of time their academic tasks would take. In addition, the completion of the reflection did not impact time estimation accuracy. When considering the specific beliefs about the academic tasks, results indicated that the challenge of previous, similar tasks impacted their time estimation ratio, while students’ anticipated challenge impacted predicted and actual task duration. In light of these findings, implications for future research are discussed.
