Holistic Evaluation of Academic Performance: A Comprehensive Approach

Abstract

The "Holistic Evaluation of Academic Performance" project aims to design and implement a systematic and inclusive assessment strategy to measure various facets of students' achievements and progress. The primary objective is to move beyond traditional examination-centric evaluations and incorporate diverse criteria such as project performance, class participation, and self-assessment. This multifaceted approach seeks to provide a more accurate representation of a student's capabilities and areas for improvement.

The education system has undergone numerous changes to stand unhindered during the COVID-19 pandemic. All over the world, the educational system has changed its teaching and learning methods. One of its important aspects, evaluating the students’ overall performance has become a complex task with these changing patterns. The traditional evaluation approach may not be the best fit anymore since multiple factors are required to make an all-inclusive, multifaceted decision to keep up with the upgrades in evaluation schemes and patterns.

Hence, we have proposed, designed, and implemented a solution, a fuzzy logic-based model. This model, while showing the difference between the traditional approach and the inference system, will enable educational institutes not only to evaluate a student’s performance but also to understand the students comprehensively.
