Abstract

Feedback produced by students can give useful insights on lecturer’s performance and ability of teaching. Many institutions use the feedbacks from students efficiently to improve the education quality. In this study. A novel framework for collection and swift processing of students’ feedbacks about lecture is proposed in this paper, which addresses the shortcomings of traditional scale-rated surveys and open-end comments. The automated framework uses speech recognition and NLP tools to produce frequency graph of mostly used words, which can help to identify the topics need to be revised. An experiment was successfully conducted to test the framework among 3rd year undergraduate students.
