Description

This project focuses on the prediction of students' academic performance using publically available datasets acquired from the UCI repository and Kaggle, which were originally presented in [1] and [2], respectively.

Prediction is done using a standard Python-based toolkit, rather than WEKA, which is used in the original paper.

Utilized packages:

  • pandas
  • scikit-learn
  • seabornplot
  • jupyter notebooks
