Abstract

A survey on the opinions and preferences of university students regarding ways of improving their performances in the enrolled courses. A total of 400 students from Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) participated in the survey. They are either foundation or first year engineering students. Their responses were summarized and analyzed. The findings show that there are similar responses from the students and a majority believe that the grades obtained at the end of the semester are appropriate and consistent with their efforts. However, there were several participants who believe that study environments and surrounding influences affect their performances. The findings of this research offer suggestions for both students and instructors on ways of improving their performances in learning and teaching respectively.
