Despite 70 years of studies of the effect of students' outside work on their academic performance, the measurement of students' workload has received little attention. Three alternative measures of workload, one of which included credit loads, were assessed and compared for a sample of 128 college students. The means of these measures varied widely, but the measures were highly intercorrelated and produced equivalent correlations with academic performance measures. No measures of workload correlated with performance in an accounting course and all were negligible and inconsistent with GPA scores for two semesters
