摘要
The high level of drop out percentage has been a problem at College of Vocational Technology, Central South University of Forestry and Technology for many years. This course has yearly enrolment of 500-1000 students and the drop out percentage has varied from 15-40 percents. The results indicate that several reasons affect students' decision to quit the computer science course. The most frequent reasons were the lack of time and the lack of motivation. However, both of these reasons were in turn affected by factors. This study focuses on the main factors affecting computer science course's students drop out.
