摘要: AbstractThis study investigated whether student academic achievement in college computer science programs Taiwan could be predicted by factors reported to effective U.S. studies. Subjects were 940 students enrolled five universities offering programs. A correlation was conducted and prediction models established. The predictive powers of entrance examination (CEE) scores relation subsequent performance appeared limited. Overall high school math course averages identified as predictors. close relationship between introductory courses complete validated. Significant linear with limited generated for overall but not performance. Model significantly improved when com...
