August 12th - 19th


Week's Plan:
Finish step-based sequence work for presenting to Dr. Barnes. Discuss what to do next.

Week's Accomplishments:
Finished the step-based sequence work.

Problems:
The trivial case of calculating all sequences did not provide useful feedback. Naturally we need a more intelligent way of identifying important sequences, much like identifying important states.

Next Week's Plan:

Do a literature review on modelling problem solving.
Do a literature review on sequence mining.
Write a chapter for for graph-layouts, proposing the idea.
Edit the chapter on sequence mining, based on my findings for this week.


Other Pieces of Work: (I just don't want to forget these ideas, not sure how necessary / important they are)
We should export the frequency data for the stoichiometry data and load that into yEd and see what see.

We should write some type of data loader that lets load in "hint-actions" so we can see where students request hints.

I should develop a Data-Properties class to more appropriately manage the different functions we have available depending on what type of data is read in. Basically the object just stores a dozen or so flags that are set based on what columns are read in, in the data-import stage of the program.

Hours Worked:
Unrecorded, a bunch.
