Detailed explanation-1: -Students who have poor attendance, regardless of being CS or non-CS majors, tend to have worse grades. Students who missed the first class had a grade average that is 18.323 points lower than the students who were present at the first class.
Detailed explanation-2: -Attending class sessions helps students to stay on track, understand expectations, foster important peer social interactions and generally promote a sense of connectedness.
Detailed explanation-3: -What correlation would you expect between the students’ grades and their attendance? A positive correlation because the more frequently they’re in class the more they will learn and will do better on the tests.
Detailed explanation-4: -School attendance, student achievement go hand-in-hand. The research is clear: Students who attend school regularly are able to learn more, have fewer discipline problems, develop better study habits and often are more successful than students who do not.
