The results indicated that: (1) The traits of academic burnout were negative attitudes and behaviors, emotional exhaustion, and reduced efficacy. (2) Precursors to college student burnout were learning interest, negative dispositional traits, motivation, course load, stress, and the school factors. (3) Prevention on the burnout would be innovation management and service, teaching system reform, and personal change.
