| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary This paper tackles the pressing issue of student withdrawal in higher education institutions. According to a report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, the number of individuals with some college education but no degree has increased significantly between 2013 and 2018. To address this challenge, Eastern Michigan University (EMU) conducted a comprehensive study on student withdrawals, identifying key factors influencing this phenomenon. The research reveals a high correlation between certain factors and withdrawals even in the early stages of university attendance. Based on these findings, the authors developed a predictive model employing artificial intelligence techniques to assess the potential risk of students abandoning their studies. This model enables universities to implement early intervention strategies, support at-risk students, and ultimately improve higher education success. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper looks into why some college students don’t finish their degree. Many people drop out or take a break, but this study wants to understand why. Eastern Michigan University did some research to figure out what makes students leave. They found that certain things can make it more likely for students to stop attending classes early on. The researchers then created a special tool using artificial intelligence that helps universities predict which students might drop out and support them before it’s too late. |
