The aim of this paper is to examine students’ performance in a computation-based course by evaluating the effects of key factors including sketching, visualization resources provided to them during the lectures, their attendance and tutors’ experience. A systematic review was conducted including 192 articles published during January 2010 to December 2019. Further, a case study has been conducted in which 633 students from non-engineering backgrounds were taught a core course of construction over three-yearly sessions from 2017 to 2019. The performance has been assessed through two quizzes of 10% weight each, assignment of 40% weight and a final exam with 30% weight in 2017-18 and 40% weight in 2019 were utilized with an attendance criterion of below 75% as low attendance. The statistical result highlights that a clear difference of 14% overall marks exist between the students with less than 75% attendance and the ones with 75% and above in 2017 and a 10% gap in 2018. Students with high marks in sketching secured higher overall marks as compared to others highlighting that the sketching skill is useful to construction students. The findings contribute to the body of education knowledge by evaluating key influential factors and provide a useful benchmark to other educators in the field.

研究学生的出勤，素描，可视化和导师经验对学生表现的影响：以建筑管理中的建筑结构课程为例

本文的目的是通过评估关键因素（包括素描，讲座期间提供给他们的可视化资源，他们的出勤和导师的经验）的作用，来检查学生在基于计算机的课程中的表现。进行了系统的审查，包括2010年1月至2019年12月发表的192篇文章。此外，还进行了案例研究，在2017年至2019年的三年期中，向633名非工程背景的学生讲授了建筑的核心课程。通过两次测验（每个测验10％的体重），40％的体重分配以及在2017-18年度的30％体重和2019年的40％体重的期末考试对成绩进行评估，低出勤率低于75％ 。统计结果表明，出勤率低于75％的学生与2017年入学率75％及以上的学生之间存在明显的14％的总体差异，2018年的差距为10％。草绘成绩较高的学生的总体得分更高与其他标记相比，显示出素描技巧对建筑专业学生很有用。通过评估关键影响因素，这些发现有助于教育知识体系的发展，并为该领域的其他教育工作者提供了有用的基准。
