  • The studies discussed form part of a programme, other aspects of which have been previously considered [1][2]. The ultimate objective is to facilitate a lecturer in helping students to predict their final passing results based on their performance in several subjects in the first four semester of their study period. In previous research, this aim was achieved through two techniques: discriminant analysis [1] and the Classification and Regression Trees (CART) algorithm [2]. Those two techniques resulted in a diagramme-based relationship. In this research, a rule based relationship of the form IF-THEN is introduced and subsequently applied using software based on the Apriori Algorithm.
