Abstract

Students who enroll in the undergraduate program on informatics at the Hellenic Open University (HOU) demonstrate significant difficulties in advancing beyond the introductory courses. We use decision trees and genetic algorithms to analyze their academic performance throughout an academic year. Based on the accuracy of the generated rules, we analyze the educational impact of specific tutoring practices and reflect on some software engineering issues involved in the development of organization-wide measurement systems.
