Abstract:

Of the motivation factors, the grade the student intends to earn had strong association and intention to take the CPA exam or attend graduate school had weak to moderate associations with student performance at both types of schools. Of the self-perceived abilities, writing and math had no associations, reading had weak association, and listening had strong associations with student performance at both types of schools. Intermediate Accounting II grade and GPA are strong predictors of student performance, particularly at the residential school. Surprisingly, work hours, job type, and course loads have no significant negative effects on student performance. Actually, there is strong evidence that higher course loads improve student performance at the residential school.
