About Me

Who Am I?

Hi I'm Jevon Mckenzie. In life we should never stop striving to achieve better. It's inevitable that the elements of life are ever changing, which requires us to adapt to those changes. Emerging Technologies and Data Analytics are excellent facilitators for these changing times as they remove barriers and allow us to operate on a global level.

I’m grateful for the International exposure during my Master’s Degree, which allowed me to appreciate various cultures. The professional experience allowed me to live and work with students from every continent. In addition to that, numerous class tours allowed me to question and share my ideas with various Giant Business and Technology companies. I’ve learnt that a successful Information System requires the successful integration of three key set of resources: Technology (hardware/software), Management (policies/procedures), and Organization (hierarchy/culture). As an Adjunct lecturer of Management Information Systems I have a passion for the discipline. As a Master of Technology Management with a specialization in Business Analytics I am bubbling with hot ideas that can effectively and efficiently solve business problems, thereby adding value to an organization. My Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology gave me the technical knowledge that allows for my valuable contribution to the analysis and development of Infrastructure and Software required. Having over a decade of teaching experience at the Secondary and Tertiary level I have become an excellent team player. I have developed excellent presentation skills and love imparting my knowledge on others.

ABSTRACT


This paper aims to analyze various student demographic information. The purpose of doing so is to provide educational institutions with meaningful high-level information on students. This information will allow for the proactive intervention of identifying and providing additional support to high school students who are highly vulnerable to failing. The models in this research identified two groups of factors that are significant determinants of a student’s academic performance: (1) Factors that relate to the parents (parents education, resources available at home, paid extra classes, address, student willingness to pursue higher education), and (2) Factors that relate to the student as an individual (study time, free time, alcoholic consumption). Four datamining models were applied: Logistic Regression using PCA Scores and using Stepwise implementation, Decision Tree, and Random Forrest. PCA allowed us to identify orthogonal components that were used as the independent variables in the logistic regression model. This method proved to produce the best results.
