Abstract

This research aims to analyze the factors that influence students' delays in completing final assignments using the Random Forest algorithm. The data used includes variables such as GPA, number of credits, employment status, frequency of guidance, organizational activities, and personal motivation. These variables were analyzed to determine their effect on students' ability to complete their final assignments on time. The Random Forest model is applied to predict whether students complete their final assignments on time or not. The model results show an accuracy of 63.33%, with the frequency of guidance and personal motivation being the most influential factors in completing the final assignment on time. Followed by the number of credits and GPA, which also have a significant but smaller influence. Organizational activity factors and employment status have a lower contribution to tardiness, but are still relevant in the context of student time management. Based on these results, research suggests the importance of academic guidance support and motivation management to help students overcome obstacles in completing their final assignments on time. This research, which uses the case of ITKES Ika Bina students, is expected to provide recommendations for universities in improving the academic mentoring process to support student graduation.
