ABSTRACT
In this paper, we investigate relationship between the texts obtained as answers of students to the questionnaires in classes and student's level of comprehension in a university course. Our goal is to understand more about students so that we can improve lectures and enhance educational outcomes. We would like to find information about student's level of comprehension from objective data; answer text in this study. Toward this goal, we investigate the word-usage of student and how they are related to term-end examination score, which we take as the index of level of comprehension. A result shows that score becomes higher as the students take more attention to what they are asked for those in middle level of comprehension. We also found that this property is not applicable to the top-most level of students. This issue should be investigated further to understand more about students and their attitudes to learning.
