"Date Mining student Records with a goal of improving retention"
04/03/2010
On february 25th., 2010, Dr. Douglas Pickering presented the seminar "Date Mining student Records with a goal of improving retention" for the administrators of various local universities.
Below we have an excerpt summarizing what the seminar was about:
Student retention is low at most canadian universities. We have studied 40 years of student records attempting to understand why students leave and to improve the retention rates. We analyzed the records by high school, by difficulty of courses selected and various other criteria, this is an ongoing project which will hopefully lead to an automated student advisor.
