ABSTRACT
The analysis of students’ performances in core departmental courses (Business Administration) was designed to ascertain whether the performances of the students in the selected courses are the same. The raw data obtained from three (3) sub-groups A, B and C in the class were pooled together. The performance of students in the courses were sorted out and presented in a contingency table for easy analysis. Friedman’s test, chi-square test and multiple bar charts were the techniques employed in analyzing the data in order to achieve the purpose of the study. Based on the results of the analysis of the data collected during the study, it is showed that the performances of students in the department of business administration according to courses are the same. The grades in the selected courses are equally distributed and that student’s performance in examination depends on the course(s).
