Abstract

Monitoring student progress in homework is important but difficult to do. The work in this paper presents a method for monitoring student progress based on their participation. By tracking participation we can successfully create a model that predicts, with very high accuracy, if a student is going to score a low grade on her current assignment before it is completed, thus enabling selective interventions.
