The Effect of Class Attendance on Academic Performance: The Role of Active Classroom Participation
Abstract
Student absenteeism has become an increasingly common issue at
Westminster International University in Tashkent (WIUT). This study explores the
relationship between class absenteeism and academic performance based on a sample of
108 students enrolled during the 2018–2019 academic year. The sample includes students
of varying ages, academic levels, and courses.
