Understanding what drives Kachua's risk predictions.
Accuracy
Precision
Recall
Previous academic performance is the strongest single predictor. Past struggles often reflect structural barriers not personal failure.
Students who miss more classes are significantly more likely to fall behind. Even a few extra absences compounds over time.
Every previous course failure increases future difficulty unless early intervention occurs.
Students who dedicate more hours to deliberate study show dramatically better outcomes.
Daily lifestyle patterns including substance use directly correlate with academic disengagement.
