course | R Documentation |
Student-level course information for approximately 98,000 undergraduates, keyed by student ID. Data at the "student-level" refers to information collected by undergraduate institutions about individual students, for example, course name and number, credit hours, and student grades.
data(course)
A data.frame
and data.table
with 12 variables and approximately
3.3M observations of 97,555 unique students occupying 325 MB of memory:
mcid
Character, anonymized student identifier, e.g.,
MCID3111142225
.

Character, anonymized institution name, e.g.,
Institution B
.
term_course

.

,
Calculus For Social Science And Business
, Corp Financial Rprtng 1
,
Environmental Sanitation II
, Fitness and Wellness
,

, Our Changing Environment
, etc.
abbrev
Character, course alpha identifier, e.g. AA
, MATH
,
ACCT
, EH
, HES
, ASTR
, etc.
number
Character, course numeric identifier, e.g. 1104
, 1209
,
228
, 4047
, etc.
section
Character, course section identifier, from one to four
characters, e.g., 1
, 2
, 01
, 14
, 001
, 040
, 785
,
H02
, R01
, 300E
, 888R
, etc.
type
Character, predominant delivery method for this section, e.g.,
Blended
, Distance Education
, Face-to-Face
, Online
, etc.
faculty_rank
Character, academic rank of the person teaching the
course, e.g., Assistant Professor
, Associate Professor
,
Graduate Assistant
, Visiting Faculty
, etc.
hours_course
Numeric, number of credit-hours for successful course completion.
grade
Character, course grade, e.g., A+
, A
, A-
, B+
,
I
, NG
, etc.
discipline_midfield
Character, a variable for grouping courses by
academic discipline assigned by the MIDFIELD data curator, e.g.,
Anthropology
, Business
, Computer Science
,
Engineering
, Language and Literature
, Mathematics
,
Visual and Performing Arts
, etc.
Course data are structured in block-record form, that is, records associated with a particular ID can span multiple rows—one record per student per course per term.
Terms are encoded YYYYT
, where YYYY
is the year at the start of the
academic year and T
encodes the semester or quarter within an academic year
as Fall (1
), Winter (2
), Spring (3
), and Summer (4
, 5
, and 6
).
For example, for academic year 1995–96, Fall 95–96 is encoded 19951
,
Spring 95–96 is encoded 19953
, and the first Summer 95-96 term is encoded
19954
. The source database includes special month-long sessions encoded
with letters A
, B
, C
, etc., though none are included in this sample.
The data in midfielddata
are a proportionate stratified sample of the
MIDFIELD database, but are not suitable for drawing inferences about program
attributes or student experiences—midfielddata
provides practice data,
not research data.
