certain amount of the testing set and had anaccuracy of 100%.In addition to recommending a set of courses for students, the decision support system is able todetect an interesting pattern regarding a helper course, pre-calculus. The decision support systemrecommends students predicted to have a FS GPA of CT or below to have a B or higher in pre-calculus. This rule is further investigated by studying two cohorts of students with a FS GPA ofCT or below, students that did not stay past four semesters, and students that did stay for at leastfour semesters. The authors studied the grades students received when taking pre-calculus asshown in Table 4. The provided analysis shows that students who receive a B or higher for pre-calculus tend to stay past

Grades for allgraduate courses in the M.S. program were examined, going back three years, by course and byinstructor. Results were pretty interesting and illuminated the situation. All the other faculty inthe program typically assigned grades of A and B to students enrolled in graduate courses. Onlyon an exceptional basis, was a grade of C assigned. Meanwhile, for the faculty member inquestion, his median grade was a B, with an equal number of A and C grades assigned each timehe taught a graduate course.In the next step, the Associate Dean scheduled a meeting with the faculty member in question
