OBJECTIVE To examine the prevalence of risk for sleep disorders among college students by gender and age, and their associations with grade point average (GPA). PARTICIPANTS Participants were 1,845 college students at a large, southeastern public university. METHODS A validated sleep disorder questionnaire surveyed sleep data during the 2007-2008 academic year. Students' GPAs were obtained ...

BACKGROUND There is limited evidence on whether prior RN clinical experience is predictive of academic success in graduate nurse practitioner (NP) programs. The purpose of this study was to explore whether the frequently held assumption that more prior clinical experience is associated with better academic success in The George Washington University online NP programs. METHOD Applications (n ...

Graduate-level professional health care programs have a highly selective admissions process. Applicants can distinguish themselves by participating in High Impact Practices (HIPs) to enhance their undergraduate experience and academic success. The variables analyzed this study included acceptance, grade point average (GPA), minor attainment, items from the National Survey of Student Engagement ...

This study illuminates the male advantage in test-based admissions to higher education. In contrast many other countries, admission tests Germany are optional, and test-free programs available. context offers a unique opportunity investigate whether is caused by gender differences test performance or participation. We use novel register data for whole population of 300,000 applicants highly sel...

The relationships among the scores of major subjects taught in the first preclinical year of a Thai medical school, previous academic achievements, and daily life activities are rarely explored. We therefore performed an exploratory study identifying various factors possibly related to the educational scores of these medical students. Questionnaires were sent out to all first preclinical year m...

The Center of Gravity (COG) method is one of the most popular defuzzification techniques of fuzzy mathematics. In earlier works the COG technique was properly adapted to be used as an assessment model (RFAM) and several variations of it (GRFAM, TFAM and TpFAM) were also constructed for the same purpose. In this paper the outcomes of all these models are compared to the corresponding outcomes of...

Predicting students’ academic performance and the factors that significantly influence it can improve completion graduation rates, as well reduce attrition rates.
