Description¶
A computer-based Monte Carlo simulator developed by Caro Huertas et al. to model university student passing, failing, and progression probabilities from historical data under institution-specific regulations.
Components¶
Claims¶
- The simulator computes Bachelor-degree-level rates: graduation rate and an efficiency rate measured as credits of the curriculum with respect to credits really taken [+W]
- The Monte Carlo simulator computes per-subject and per-semester academic performance rates, specifically the efficiency rate and the success rate [+W]
- The sensitivity of the simulator's performance metrics to some of its parameters is analyzed using Design of Experiments [+W]
