Abstract

This study aimed to determine the result of the prelim and midterm examinations in Advanced Statistics of BS Industrial Engineering (BSIE) Fourth Year and how it was related to the observed classroom behaviour in terms of attendance during major examination, attendance during classes, attention, submission of exercises and assignment and their motivation. The BSIE 4 students obtained an excellent rating on attention and very satisfactory rating on motivation, submission of exercises and assignments as well as attendance during classes while attendance during Major examination obtained the least observed classroom behaviour. There is a significant relationship between the result of prelim examination and the observed classroom behaviour in terms of attendance during major exam, during classes, submission of exercises and motivation while all variables in the observed classroom behaviour are factors that determine the result of Midterm exam in Advanced Statistics of BSIE 4. Attendance during Major Exam is the best predictor among the selected variables of the Prelim Exam result and Motivation is the best predictor for the result of Midterm exam of the BSIE 4 in Advanced Statistics.
