dataset_registration: Returns the formatted registration data set

Description

Load and formats the student registration data set from the OULAD for data analysis.

Usage

dataset_registration(
  module = c("All", "AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "DDD", "EEE", "FFF", "GGG"),
  presentation = c("2013B", "2014B", "2013J", "2014J", "All", "Summer", "Winter"),
  repeat_students = c("remove", "keep")
)

Value

Returns one tibble (object of class tbl_df), called 'studentRegistration', based on the OULAD studentRegistration.csv file and the specified inputs (module, presentation, and repeat_students).

The tibble consists of five columns (Kuzilek et al., 2017):

id_student - the unique student identification number.
code_module - module identification code.
code_presentation - module presentation identification code.
date_registration - the day of student’s registration for the module presentation. Modules start on day 0.
date_unregistration - the day of student unregistration from the module presentation. This is NA if the student completed the module presentation.

Arguments

module: name of the module to be included, either "All", "AAA", "BBB", "CCC", "DDD", "EEE", "FFF" or "GGG".
presentation: name of the semester of the module to be included, either "2013B", "2014B", "2013J", "2014J", "All", "Summer" or "Winter". "B" indicates a February start time whereas "J" indicates an October start time. "All" indicates that all presentations of the module will be included in the returned data. Where possible, "Summer" returns both "2013B" and "2014B", and "Winter" returns both "2013J" and "2014J".
repeat_students: indicator of whether students who had previous attempts at the module should be removed, either "remove" or "keep".
