• Abstract: This study explores and analyzes the learning tendencies of second-year students enrolled in different lines of study related to the Databases course. There were 79 answers collected from 191 enrolled students that were analyzed and interpreted using thematic analysis. The participants in the study provided two sets of answers, anonymously collected (at the beginning and at the end of the course), thus allowing us to have clear data regarding their interests and to find out their tendencies. We looked into their expectations and if they were met; we concluded that the students want to learn only database basics. Their main challenges were related to the course homework. We combined the information and the answers related to 1) other database-related topics that they would like to learn, 2) how they plan to use the acquired information, and 3) overall interest in learning other database-related topics. The conclusion was that students prefer learning only the basic information that could help them achieve their goals: creating an application or using it at work. For these students, Getting the work done is preferred to Learning in-depth.

  We developed ClickTree, a tree-based methodology, to predict student performance in mathematical assignments based on students' clickstream data. The developed method achieved an AUC of 0.78844 in the Educational Data Mining Cup 2023 and ranked second in the competition. Students who performed well in answering end-unit assignment problems engaged more with in-unit assignments and answered more problems correctly, while those who struggled had higher tutoring request rate.

  Large language models trained on massive corpora of data from the web can reproduce sensitive or private data raising both legal and ethical concerns. Unlearning, or tuning models to forget information present in their training data, provides us with a way to protect private data after training. We present TOFU, a benchmark aimed at helping deepen our understanding of unlearning.

Specifically, we model the relationship between students and questions using student interactions to construct the student-interaction-question network. We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach on a real-world dataset consisting of 104,113 mouse trajectories generated in the problem-solving process of over 4000 students on 1631 questions.
