R Programming Project Assignment

1. Project Overview

This assignment is designed for beginner-level students of R programming. The project


focuses on applying data analysis, data visualization, and statistical modeling techniques in
the education domain.
The goal is to understand the factors that influence student academic performance and to
build a simple predictive model.

2. Project Title and Objective


Title: Analyzing Student Performance to Identify Key Success Factors

Objective: To analyze student performance data using R to determine which factors


influence students’ final grades the most.
This project includes data exploration, visualization, and simple statistical modeling using
real-world data.

3. Dataset Information

Dataset Source: UCI Machine Learning Repository


Dataset Name: Student Performance Dataset
Link: https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Student+Performance

This dataset contains information such as gender, age, study time, failures, family support,
and final grades (G1, G2, G3).

4. Project Workflow

Step 1: Setup

- Install R and RStudio (if not already installed)


- Install and load the required R packages: tidyverse, ggplot2, readr, dplyr
Step 2: Load and Inspect Data

- Download and load the dataset into R using read.csv()


- Inspect the dataset structure using head(), str(), and summary()

Step 3: Clean and Prepare Data

- Handle missing values (if any)


- Convert character columns to factors using factor()
- Create additional variables or simplify existing ones (optional)

Step 4: Data Visualization

- Plot distributions of grades (G1, G2, G3)


- Visualize relationships between study time, absences, and grades
- Use bar charts, boxplots, scatterplots, and histograms

Step 5: Statistical Analysis

- Perform correlation analysis between numerical variables


- Conduct t-tests or ANOVA for categorical variables vs. grade outcomes

Step 6: Predictive Modeling

- Build a linear regression model to predict the final grade (G3)


- Interpret the model output and coefficients
- Evaluate model performance using RMSE and R-squared

Step 7: Conclusion and Reporting

- Summarize the main insights discovered from the data


- Identify which factors most influence academic performance
- Submit R scripts, graphs, and a summary report as deliverables

5. Learning Outcomes

After completing this assignment, students will be able to:


- Understand the steps of data analysis in R
- Create effective visualizations using ggplot2
- Perform basic statistical modeling using linear regression
- Interpret data-driven insights for real-world problems
