Abstract
The main purpose of the study was to assess the factors affecting students' academic performance in chemistry in the University of Benin. The specific object of the study was to investigate into the factors affecting poor performance of chemistry students, to
determine the relationship between teaching methods and academic performance in chemistry. The study also intended to determine the strategies adopted to improve the performance of undergraduates in chemistry and to determine if there is an effect of
teacher’s utilization of instructional materials on the performance of undergraduates. The research design adopted for this study was a descriptive survey design and the population of the study are chemistry undergraduate in the University of Benin. The
study uses a stratified sampling technique and questionnaire was distributed to the selected samples and responses was elicited from them. The study was validated by face and content validity from the supervisor and professors in the department. The data
collected was analyzed using counts, frequencies and percentages.
