Absenteeism from classes is going popular among students of
Westminster International University in Tashkent. This research was conducted for the
purpose of determining the effect of being part of class on the academic performance as
the example of WIUT 108 students. These students have been selected from various
levels, courses and ages who enrolled in 2018-2019 academic year at Westminster
International University in Tashkent. The research is based on two imported data: the non
attendance forms of students for 12 weeks and their marks at the end of the module.
Promulgation of this study can be interested for the university planning about academic
performance and the same time it is useful for students, they can see the disadvantage of
absenteeism.
