Predictors for success in a discrete math course
Lisa A. Jamba-Joyner, William F. Klostermeyer · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 2003
Several factors, including grade-point average, math SAT scores, performance in calculus and programming courses, and results from a short pre-test were used in an effort to predict student grades a discrete mathematics course offered to computing science students. Two factors, SAT and average programming grade, were found to be significantly associated with the final grade for the discrete math course. Additionally, performance in the discrete math course was positively correlated with performance in the automata course required for computer science students.
