The top of the visualization represents the front of the classroom. Larger circles mean that a student has sat in a seat more often. Right now, the categorical classification is based on fuzzy criteria wherein a “zone” is considered any discernable cluster in any one part of the classroom. This may be a tight cluster in a particular spot or one with a larger spread on a set of rows (e.g. front of the class). Students with fewer than ten observations have been filtered out and singleton deviations are shown, but neglected in the ‘category’ view.
