reachability_factor

This function takes in a plan of study and a course, then finds that course's reachability factor.
The value is the number of courses needed to be passed before enrolling in the given course.

Enables educational researchers and practitioners to calculate the curricular complexity of a plan of study, visualize its prerequisite structure at scale, and conduct customizable analyses. The original tool can be found at <https://curricularanalytics.org>. Additional functions to explore curriculum complexity from the literature are also included.
