dc.description.abstractThe usefulness of cohorting exercise to students in tertiary institutions cannot be overstressed. The study aimed at determining the relationship between cohorting exercise and socio-academic performance of students in University of Lagos. Four research questions and four corresponding hypotheses were generated for the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study where 100 students and 20 cohort advisers across faculties in the University of Lagos were randomly selected. Two sets of questionnaires titled “Cohorting Exercise and Socio-academic Performance Questionnaire” and Perception of Students and Staff on Cohorting Exercise” were used in collecting information from the students and members of staff. The questionnaire had two section each. Section one elicited the bio-data of the repondents while section two measured the variables in the study. The data generated were analysed using t-test statistics for independent sample to test hypotheses one and two while Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to test hypotheses three and four. The result findings showed that cohorting exercise can make or mar socio-academic performance of students and that personal dispositions of cohort advisers could make or mar the entire cohorting exercise. It was also revealed that there was a positive and high relationship between cohorting exercise and socio-academic performance of students. It was recommended that cohort advisers should be adequately compensated by school authority so as to be motivated to do the work judiciously.en_US
