Document Summary
What is the relationship between class attendance (independent variable) and academic performance (dependent variable) Recent researches have been studying the relationship between class attendance and its effect on university students" academic experience and performance. The hypothesis is that university students with higher class attendances are more likely to achieve better academic performance. The class attendance (independent variable) will be measured include attendance survey result and display in percentage. Academic performance will be assessed in term of two criteria- school gpa system and academic reflection interview. This will be a longitudinal comparison study contain experimental group and control group expanding for four years of duration. Academic performance will be assessed every semester (4 months) in multiple time series until the closure of the research. Experimental group will have to attend all classes mandatorily where control group will not be intervened at all. We will selecting representative sample of 1000 students selected using systematic random sampling technique.
