Provides tools and demonstrates methods for working with individual undergraduate student-level records (registrar's data) in 'R'. Tools include filters for program codes, data sufficiency, and timely completion. Methods include gathering blocs of records, computing quantitative metrics such as graduation rate, and creating charts to visualize comparisons. 'midfieldr' interacts with practice data provided in 'midfielddata', a data package with an installed size of about 24 Mb available via a 'drat' repository.
