Abstract

University is an authorized high-level institution whereby learners transition to a new system of teaching facilities and academic research that is exclusively divergent from that of the secondary school level. This distinctiveness makes undergraduate students confused about how to meet the requirements of different modules, but most importantly, how to face the university/college challenges. Thereby, this work assesses the extent to which students at university have fear of failure. Our quantitative investigation is designed, mainly, to provide a concrete picture about how compulsory it is to understand the psyche of learners before final evaluation. To reach the aim of the work, we designed a survey for fifty four students in the Department of English at Mostaganem University. The results exhibit an accumulation of factors affecting learners at this level, mainly, the presence of fear of failure due to the learners' unfamiliarity with the criteria of assessment, the teachers' unawareness of addressing failure and in dealing with new bachelors who come with diverse profiles, learning needs and interests, besides homesickness and room-mate relationships.
