Education and Learning Management Systems - Automated Grading System

 

Problem: Grading assignments and exams manually can be slow and prone to inconsistencies.

Solution: Automates the grading process for multiple-choice and short-answer questions.

Benefits: Reduces the time spent grading, ensures consistency, and provides faster feedback to students.

Adoption: Businesses can expand this to support other types of assessments like essays, coding challenges, or peer reviews.

Code:

# Function to grade multiple-choice questions

def grade_mcq(answer_key, student_answers):

    score = sum([1 for i, ans in enumerate(student_answers) if ans == answer_key[i]])

    return score

# Example answer key and student answers

answer_key = ['A', 'C', 'B', 'D', 'A']

student_answers = ['A', 'C', 'B', 'B', 'A']

# Grade the student

score = grade_mcq(answer_key, student_answers)

print(f"Student's score: {score} out of {len(answer_key)}")
