Improving the Academic Achievement of Engineering Undergraduates Through the Intervention of Biofeedback Training Protocol

Poor academic performance among undergraduates can be associated with many factors. Among them are poor concentration, poor personality performance and peer influence. These are considered the most significant factors that lead to poor academic achievement among students. This study is proposing a n...
