Does the Number of Hours Spent on Learning Affect Academic Achievement?

Examinations are measurement tools designed to assess learners’ achievement of course learning outcomes. Past studies have shown that factors such as motivation and study time play a part in enhancing learner achievement in assessment. The objective of this exploratory study is to develop a Regr...
