Course Knowledge Assessment Tool Using Python

Abstract

For teaching faculty, the current trend is to use revised blooms' taxonomy for setting question papers. It's beneficial for both students and faculty on equal levels. For students, a fair assessment is facilitated, whereas for the teachers it's helpful in detailed testing. Different levels of knowledge can be assessed using the verbs of blooms' taxonomy which is used while framing the questions. The tool is designed using Python script. It works on the concept of accepting the students' marks, maximum marks and the revised blooms' taxonomy level for each question. All of these elements are entered as an input, in the form of an excel sheet. The tool processes these values and provides the best skill level as an output- This value is then used to assess a particular student's knowledge level for a particular question, on the basis of overall performance.
