Title
Visualizing Student Flows to Track Retention and Graduation Rates
Abstract
Understanding, modeling and visualizing student performance and academic progress have attracted considerable research attention recently. In particular, early leaving and retention of students are central problems associated with significant personal and social cost. In this study, we provide an efficient visualization tool to analyze student flow patterns by alluvial and Sankey diagrams. We tracked the progress of more than 30,000 undergraduate students from Budapest University of Technology and Economics enrolled between 2010 and 2017. Our method allows decision-makers to gain better insight on how students are progressing. This tool also makes easier to understand the effects of some policy changes on retention and graduation rates.
