Similar to DT, we can adjust severa

Similar to DT, we can adjust several parameters in ARM to generate results. Examples of parameters include minimum support (which gives indication of how frequent the item set appears), confidence (means how often the rule is found to be true), and number of rules (see Ref. [1] for more details). Table 1 presents a list of rules that is based on Senior II grades for Spring 2016. Based on our experience in College of IT at UAEU, we found that in many cases, students could not make high grade in Senior I and when we looked at the students’ grades, we found lack of project planning. This pattern can be uncovered easily with ARM as in the following rule. The rule indicates that in order to get score B then students should have Exceed Expectation (EE) grade in project plan and Meet Expectation (ME) in other criteria.
