Abstract

This article investigates the academic
performance of junior and senior students in quantitative courses at
Econometrics Department of Cukurova University. To this end, factor models and
stepwise regression analysis are used. To what extent junior and senior year
quantitative courses can be explained by quantitative courses which are
considered to be prerequisite is examined. Besides, the relationship between
socioeconomic variables and grade point average, and between lower level
quantitative courses and subsequent core quantitative courses both are
analyzed.

Keywords

Abstract

Bu makalede Çukurova Üniversitesi İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler
Fakültesi Ekonometri bölümü üst sınıf öğrencilerinin sayısal derslerdeki
başarısını etkileyen faktörlerin neler olduğu araştırılmıştır. Önkoşul olması
düşünülen sayısal ders notlarının üçüncü ve dördüncü yıl sayısal ders
başarısını ne ölçüde etkilediği araştırılmıştır. Ayrıca sosyoekonomik (SE)
değişkenlerin genel not ortalaması ile ilişkisi ve alt dönem sayısal ders
notları ile branş ders notları arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir.
