  1. This study investigates stopout patterns in MOOCs to understand course and assessment-level factors that influence student stopout behavior. We expanded previous work on stopout by assessing the exponential decay of assessment-level stopout rates across courses. Results confirm a disproportionate stopout rate on the first graded assessment. We then evaluated which course and assessment level features were associated with stopout on the first assessment. Findings suggest that a higher number of questions and estimated time commitment in the early assessments and more assessments in a course may be associated with a higher proportion of early stopout behavior.
