ABSTRACT

The factors included in the study were departmental examination results, practicum ratings/grades and final grades in the courses Food Processing, Food Analysis and Food Chemistry.

Final grades and practicum ratings are predictors of the students academic performance. However, practicum ratings was a better predictor while departmental examinations scores was a poor indicator of the third year BSFT students academic performance in the selected professional courses.
