Predicting Student Grade Based on Free-Style Comments Using Word2Vec and ANN by Considering Prediction Results Obtained in Consecutive Lessons.
Continuously tracking students during a whole semester plays a vital role to enable a
teacher to grasp their learning situation, attitude and motivation. It also helps to give correct
assessment and useful feedback to them. To this end, we ask students to write their
comments just after each lesson, because student comments reflect their learning attitude
towards the lesson, understanding of course contents, and difficulties of learning. In this
paper, we propose a new method to predict final student grades. The method employs …

Continuously tracking students during a whole semester plays a vital role to enable a teacher to grasp their learning situation, attitude and motivation. It also helps to give correct assessment and useful feedback to them. To this end, we ask students to write their comments just after each lesson, because student comments reflect their learning attitude towards the lesson, understanding of course contents, and difficulties of learning. In this paper, we propose a new method to predict final student grades. The method employs Word2Vec and Artifical Neural Network (ANN) to predict student grade in each lesson based on their comments freely written just after the lesson. In addition, we apply a window function to the predicted results obtained in consecutive lessons to keep track of each student's learning situation. The experiment results show that the prediction correct rate reached 80% by considering the predicted student grades from six consecutive lessons, and a final rate became
