Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify factors that influence the academic success or failure of Food Science and Technology students at the University of León (Spain). A questionnaire of 68 questions was distributed among 185 students during the 2017 to 2018 academic year. Those students who were satisfied with passing exams, studied in the library, and/or faced personal problems showed low academic performance. In addition, some factors, such as studying Physics previously, attending class, and/or studying all the topics for the exams, were associated (P < 0.05) positively with the grade point average obtained. Academic performance of the students in the different years of study did not present significant differences (P ≥ 0.05). This study reinforces the need to introduce changes in the current University of León´s education program.
期刊介绍：
The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) publishes the Journal of Food Science Education (JFSE) to serve the interest of its members in the field of food science education at all levels. The journal is aimed at all those committed to the improvement of food science education, including primary, secondary, undergraduate and graduate, continuing, and workplace education. It serves as an international forum for scholarly and innovative development in all aspects of food science education for "teachers" (individuals who facilitate, mentor, or instruct) and "students" (individuals who are the focus of learning efforts).
