Project Proposal Talk Problem Description -Create a student evaluation system (E-assessment) that accurately identifies problem areas and tests how well a student grasps a certain subject. Because the system will enable teachers to recognize the specific areas that students don’t understand after a lesson, teachers will be able to better meet the needs of the students. The difficulty in creating such a system lies in being able to identify the specific subcategories or concepts from just a few test questions.

Methodology, Milestones & Deliverables Steps: (write in deadlines) Map out topic Amass data base (item bank) Create algorithm (assessment engine) to traverse map, which would figure out which question to ask next, how to evaluate answers Testing Things that might prove to be hard: Figuring out the best way to test students, testing what they truly know How to test students without asking too many questions Testing the actual program Fall back plan:
