Abstract

In this study we need to understand the correlation between the qualities of performance at lower level courses that serve as prerequisites to higher level courses. In this study, we seek to employ two first year (100 Level) undergraduate Mathematics and two second year (200 Level) undergraduate Mathematics courses, respectively, which serve as prerequisites to four specific third year (300 Level) undergraduate Mathematics courses to test this correlation. The method of poisson regression analysis was applied to find out which 100 and 200 Level Mathematics courses have impact on the performance in the 300 Level Mathematics courses comprising of MTH312, MTH313, MTH322 and MTH323 at the Department of Mathematics, University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria. From our study, it was discovered that only MTH110 showed a positive effect to the performance of three out of the four 300 level undergraduate courses, followed by MTH112 and MTH212 which had positive effect in one out of the four 300 level undergraduate courses respectively. To determine the quality of performance at higher level courses is of great interest.
