Aim: The aim of this paper is to examine the factors that are affecting secondary school students, who are in the 10th grade, in a metropolitan city of Pakistan.
Type/Style: Journal.
Summary: A survey was conducted on 600 secondary school students. These students were selected randomly from twelve different schools. The aim of this survey was to examine factors that …show more content…
In addition, ANOVA was used to examine how these factors affect academic performance. The results show that parents’ education and socio economic status have a significant effect on academic performance. However, the
1parents occupation was found to have no significant effect on the academic performance.

Aim: The aim of this paper is to examine the correlation be- tween tutorial attendance and academic performance. Sum- mary: This study uses two courses to determine the correla- tion between academic performance and tutorial attendance.
The first course was life sciences and it had approximately 100
Students. The second course was a liberal arts course and it had 160 students. The students’ performance was ranked on a three point scale. Where 0 means students never attend and
2 means students attend their tutorials. The students’ atten- dance was then compared with their final marks. The results indicated that there is a strong correlation between tutorial participation and academic performance.

A survey was con- ducted on students who were taking a computer course. This course has lectures and tutorial sessions. During the tutorial session, there was an assistant available to help/assist the students where necessary.These tutorial participation were divided into different groups. some groups we all-female, some where all-male and others were mixed. Both the assistant and the students were asked to fill in a questionnaire. The assistants’ questionnaire was about their past teaching experiences. The students’ questionnaire was about how active they were during the tutorial sessions and it also asked
2them about the difficulty level of the exercises. The results show that females are more likely to work together during tutorial sessions than male students. They also indicated that male-dominated courses lowers the female students’ comfort level. [4] B. C. Wilson and S.
