The final grades obtained by 117 freshmen enrolled on the Statistics and/or Financial Accounting subjects in Business Administration Degree are analyzed. The most interesting results are that the coursework mark is higher than the final examination in both subjects in both Universities, except for male students enrolled in statistics. Also variables such as gender, type of subject and students´preferences have an impact on academic outcomes.8Reconocimiento - No comercial - Sin obra derivada (by-nc-nd)Higher EducationLearningEducational systemsTeachingEHEAAssessmentCourseworkFinal examActive learningCapítulo de libro10.4995/HEAD16.2015.2590Abierto
