Table 5 just prove our theory, for 85% of students would like tohave a B and above score. We did have a final score for these students; however, we cannot connect thefinal score with the perception score one by one. Thus, we cannot determine whether those perceptionsare fit for the final score. For the final score, the mean was 76.78, and highest was 87, lowest 44.Basically, the scores follow a normal distribution curve, which
