Abstract:
This study examines some determinants of student performance in Advanced Accounting. Of the motivation factors studied (intended grade, intention to take the CPA exam, or attend graduate school) only the first is associated with student performance. None of the three distraction factors (job hours, job type, and course load) has any negative effect on student performance. Of the four self-perceived ability factors, listening and, to some extent, reading have significant association with student performance but writing and math do not. Finally, the grade in the pre-requisite Intermediate Accounting II course has some association but overall GPA has significant association with student performance.
