q2 i? The simulator computes degree-level rates, including a graduation rate measured as the percentage of students who finish as scheduled or taking an extra year, and an efficiency rate measured as the percentage of credits of the curriculum with respect to the credits really taken. → Caro Huertas 2014

Caro Huertas, Eduardo; González Fernández, María Camino; Mira McWilliams, José Manuel. (2014). Student academic performance stochastic simulator based on the Monte Carlo method. Computers & Education, v. 76, pp. 45-54. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2014.03.007

q2 · i? · design · r2

Descriptive statement of the tool's degree-level outputs: a graduation rate counting students finishing as scheduled or taking an extra year, and a credit-based efficiency rate. No effect sizes are printed.

"Additionally, we compute the rates for the Bachelors degree, which are the graduation rate measured as the percentage of students who finish as scheduled or taking an extra year and the efficiency rate (measured as the percentage of credits of the curriculum with respect to the credits really taken)."
