BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
 Objectives of the Study
1. To determine the General Weighted Average (GWA) of the third year and fourth year  accounting students
on each of  the five common  major subjects the students applied.
a. Intermediate Accounting 1 
b. Intermediate Accounting 2 
c. Intermediate Accounting 3
d. Intermediate Accounting 4
e. Income Taxation
2. To evaluate if enhancement subject are effective to the  accounting students in regard to the student’s
improvement in applied major subjects in terms of:
a. Absorption  of Accounting Knowledge
b. Participation in Academic Activities
c. Academic Productivity

3. To examine significant differences between the effectiveness of the enhancement subjects and the academic
performance of the accounting students.  
 Research Methodology
• Study Design - Descriptive Survey Method
• Participants - One hundred twenty accounting students (BSA, BSAIS, BSMA)
• Data Gathering Tools - Survey Questionnaires 
• Treatment of Data - Frequency Distribution, Average Weighted Mean, Chi Square
Distribution Test 
 Conclusions
1. The study found that enhancement subjects applied by third and fourth year
accounting students are effective in improving their academic performance.

2. The study found that the enhancement subjects are effective in increasing the
accounting student's absorption of accounting knowledge, increasing their likelihood to
participate in academic activities, and improving their productivity.

3. The effectiveness of the enhancement subject to the academic performance of third

and fourth year accounting students has a significant difference.
 Recommendations
1. The study demonstrated that accounting students benefit from taking enhancement
courses. However, in the case of accountancy, grades obtained  do not ensure that
they would receive the required quota grade. Further research should be done to
explore what additional methods might be added in conjunction with the use of
enhancement subjects and to identify any gaps that might need to be filled as a
result of accounting students' challenges in taking the subjects in order to ensure
that the effectiveness of these subjects is fully understood by these students.
2. The researchers advise students to have their accounting proficiency assessed in
supplemental courses to raise their academic achievement. The students'
information retention will be increased by adding more activities and using novel
learning techniques, enabling them to engage in accounting-related activities and
boost their academic output.
3. Enhancement courses are useful in raising academic performance and ought to be
considered seriously as major courses to give students the foundational knowledge
needed to excel in more difficult courses, increasing their chances of success.
