ASSIGNMENT 1
BIG DATA AND EDUCATION
by Ryan S. Baker


In this activity, you need to build a set of detectors predicting the variable ONTASK.

The data set you will use in this assignment is very similar (but not identical) to the data set used in:

Godwin, K.E., Almeda, M.V., Petroccia, M., Baker, R.S., & Fisher, A.V. (2013). Classroom activities and off-task behavior in elementary school children. Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, 2428-2433.

A description of many of the variables can be found in the above paper.

You should complete this activity in Python. You do not receive any penalty for using hints.
