Abstract
In order to obtain good grades, students involve themselves in hard work according
to the best of their ability, yet an experiential learning project makes it even harder
to attain the grades that the students are aiming for. Researches have shown that
students are generally optimistic about their grades, yet no research has been
found in Pakistan to gauge student optimism in grades with regard to experiential
learning projects. This study is an attempt to gauge an empirical attempt to gauge
students’ optimism towards their grades in an experiential learning project. A
sample of 106 students is obtained via purposive sampling technique enrolled
in the same university and same course. After being involved in an experiential
learning project, they were asked their expected marks which were compared
later with their actually obtained marks. Pair sample t-test is applied to figure out
whether the average of perceived marks is statistically different than the average of
actually obtained marks. The average of expected marks exceeds by 2.14 which is
statistically significant at 99.9% confidence interval.
