Every year,a huge number of undergraduate students enroll in the course of Management Principles in our country's universities.This study utilizes the generalized nesting spatial model and the generalized spatial two-stage least square method to conduct regression analysis on the examination scores of the course of Management Principles taken by freshmen in the first-semester,based on approximately random data regarding dormitory arrangements in a Chinese university.The results indicate the presence of roommates'effects including endogenous effect and exogenous effect.Specifically,in addition to being influenced by their own academic abilities,the students'test scores in this course are positively impacted by their roommates'final test scores but negatively affected by their roommates'academic abilities and male roommates.The findings are helpful in enhancing the teaching and learning effectiveness of Management Principles for teachers and students in universities,as well as serving as a reference for teaching reforms of similar courses.
