Students found difficulty in the prerequisites subject of Math 155. Difficult examinations, incorporated with lack of mathematical maturity, were found to be the cause of failure. Large class size was observed to affect. Student’s learning. Lack of interest, laziness, lack of perseverance and cramming were the problems encountered by the students. Social activities were found to distract students learning. Lastly, lack of proper study habits and attitudes significantly affected student’s failure.
