Item Restricted A study on the factors that affect the academic performance of economics students(1995-01) Chavez, April Anne T.; Montenegro, Jose Carlito M.; Tecson, Gwendolyn R.Studies have been made In the past regarding the factors that affect the academic behavior of Economics students. The EWA (or economics weighted average) is a major factor In determining the over-all academic performance of these students. Specifically, this research study revealed that the averages of Economics 101 & 102 and Economics 106 & 131 , average of other economics subjects, Math average, and the manner by which a student was placed Into this college (whether he was originally accepted into. the School of Economics or was a transferee from another college) are the significant variables to which the . EWA of a student Is sensitive. The higher the values for these factors, the more capable will be the student to obtain a high EWA. Adequate knowledge about these factors is needed in order for a student to be able to take certain measures to avoid getting a low EWA, because a low EWA may result to a student being on probation, thus leaving him open to the possibility of being involuntarily dismissed from the college.
