Abstract
We investigate the class registration behavior of college students with data collected from the spring semester of 2012. The network originally consists of a 2-mode network between a student and class subjects. We first transform the 2-mode network into 1-mode network of students. We also subdivide it into a smaller network such as components and communities to understand the detailed behavior of students in class registration. Finally, the relationship between GPA and the centrality measures, gender, and grade of students is analyzed using a multiple regression analysis.
