AB [EN] Version control systems’ usage is a highly demanded skill in information andcommunication technology professionals. Thus, their usage should be encouraged by educationalinstitutions. This work demonstrates that it is possible to assess if a student can pass a computerscience-related subject by monitoring its interaction with a version control system. This paperproposes a methodology that compares the performance of several machine learning models so asto select the appropriate predicting model for the assessment of the students’ achievements. To fitpredicting models, three subjects of the Degree in Computer Science at the University of León areconsidered to obtain the dataset: computer organization, computer programming, and operatingsystems extension. The common aspect of these subjects is their assignments, which are based ondeveloping one or several programs with programming languages such as C or Java. To monitor thepractical assignments and individual performance, a Git repository is employed allowing studentsto store source code, documentation, and supporting control versions. According to the presentedexperience, there is a huge correlation between the level of interaction for each student and theachieved grades.
