AB  - The aim of this study was to determine the effect of absenteeism and homework on academic achievement of statistic lesson given to Agricultural Faculty students. The data of this study was consist of 2407 individual records. To analyze the data Kruskal-Wallis H test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for the posterior test. To obtain the odds-ratio Generalized Estimating Equations were used. After three missing lesson success probability decreased to 85.1% and each missing lesson on that value decreased the probability of achievement 15.2%. Making only one homework increased the achievement 2.5 times. The second homework had 2.44 times effect on achievement according to one homework. The third and fourth homework had an effect of 1.46 and 1.85 times according to previous number of homework, respectively. The result of this study showed the decreasing academic achievement by increasing absenteeism. It is clearly seen that homework increases academic success. More homework bring more success. It should not be overlooked that the contribution of each increase in the number of homework to academic success is decreasing.
