Abstract:
What factors affect a student's grade point average, and to what extent? The junior author was motivated by curiosity to pursue this question as a Senior Research topic; the senior author found it of interest because of his past record of poor predictions. The outcome was a survey of the undergraduate students in the Department of Agricultural Economics at OSU and subsequent exploration of statistical models designed to predict cumulative grade point averages (GPA). These models are described and evaluated below.
Keywords:
academic performance, grade point average
