Factors contributing to mathematics performance of UiTM Johor Students / Masyfu’ah Mokhtar... [et al.]

Some Mathematics courses offered by the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics (FSKM), University Technology MARA (UiTM) Johor, such as Pre-Calculus (MAT133), Calculus I (MAT183) and Calculus II (MAT233), have been identified as high failure rate courses for recent semesters. As considered by t...
