Summary/Abstract: The goal of methodology development in education is to make the students able to learn the curriculum as efficiently as possible and to develop their competencies. For this, it is necessary to understand the different learning paths, habits, preferences, and motivations of undergraduate students. Based on 2,766 student opinions collected between 2017 and 2021, the study examines the students’ learning activities, habits, the different learning paths, and the changes that occurred during this period. In our analysis, we identified four groups of students: 1) those who study continuously from multiple sources, 2) those who prefer textbooks and seminar work, 3) those who prefer lectures and seminar work, and 4) those with low learning intensity. Based on our results, the reason for the different student activities was not the different quality of teaching nor the students’ different abilities, but rather their different motivations and attitude.
