ABSTRACT

Bachelor Degree Thesis is a very important part of undergraduate academic performance in geographical colleges and universities. In addition, Bachelor Degree Thesis is a good prove of whether students have comprehensively understood the fundamental theories and mastered the professional skills to solve practical problems. Therefore, based on statistical correlation analysis and spatial analysis, this paper is purposed to examine how different factors spatially impact the grades of undergraduates’ Bachelor Degree Thesis as well as their temporal variations from Year 2004 to 2015 with China University of Geosciences as a case study. The results show that: (1) Fundamental courses in mathematics and physics had the highest positive correlation with the results of Bachelor Degree Thesis grades; (2) The correlations between course grades and Bachelor Degree Thesis grades showed significant spatial differences; (3) Compared to the regional economic development, the quality of regional education has a greater impact on the college entrance examination grades of students who choose geology related majors.
