New methods for students' evaluation using fuzzy sets

Abstract

In an earlier work, Biswas (1995) presented two methods for the application of fuzzy sets in students' answerscripts evaluation. In this paper, we extend his work to propose two new methods for evaluating students' answerscripts using fuzzy sets. The proposed methods can overcome the drawbacks in Biswas (1995) due to the fact that they do not need to perform the complicated matching operations and they can evaluate students' answerscripts in a more fair manner.
