摘要:
Success in intermediate economics and agricultural economics classes with respect to course prerequisites was evaluated. Prerequisites were statistically important for both intermediate microeconomics and in two of the three agricultural economics courses evaluated. The primary finding was that--for three of the four courses evaluated--the higher the proportion of students who completed the listed prerequisite, "ceteris paribus", the lower the grade for any given student. Results also indicate that students with higher "ex ante" GPAs, and to some extent higher math equivalent SAT scores, received higher grades.
