Text Input and Numerical Output issue for Exam Schedule Predictor
Create dummy variables or use RandomForest. They accept text input and numerical output.
I'm working on a model that would predict an exam schedule for a given course and term. My input would be the term and the course name, and the output would be the date. I'm currently done with the data cleaning and preprocessing step, however, I can't wrap my head around a way to make a model whose input is two strings and the output is two numbers (the day and month of exam). One approach that I thought of would be encoding my course names, and writing the term as a binary list. I.E input: encoded(course), [0,0,1] output: day, month. and then feeding to a regression model. 
I hope someone who's more experienced could tell me a better approach.
