This study determines the reason of the students’ tardiness using Qualitative Research

Qualitative Information. Fifteen (15) students from Burauen Community College chosen as
participants of the study on the following criteria: (1) must be men and women; (2) must be

We developed (9) theme and divided into (3) roman numerals. I. Reason for being late
attendance on their 7 AM classes: (a.) Transportation; (b.) Difficulties in managing their time;
(c.) Illness; II. Effect of tardiness to the first year BCC criminology students: (a.) Poor
