Student Learning Progress as Predictor for Graduate Employability Performance

Graduate Employability in Asia

Assessing Graduate Student Progress in Engineering Ethics

Under a grant from the National Science Foundation, the authors (and others) undertook to integrate ethics into graduate engineering classes at three universities-and to assess success in a way allowing comparison across classes (and institutions). This paper describes the attempt to carry out that assessment. Standard methods of assessment turned out to demand too much class time. Under pressu...

A Student- Centered Personalised Learning Space for Employability

In 2009 a pilot project was undertaken to develop and enhance Personal Development Planning (PDP) and employability skills amongst final year undergraduates on the BA Business Management degree. Developed in conjunction with students, the Careers and Employability service and the Academic Skills unit, a Personal Development and Employability Workbook was generated. Student learning from this to...

Relationship between Students’ Readiness for e-Learning, Learner Satisfaction and Student Performance: The case of a post-graduate education program

The aim of this study was to explore students’ readiness for e-learning during Covid-19, determining learner satisfaction with online learning experiences and their relations with students’ success. A descriptive-analytical research design and Spearman correlation coefficient were used in this study. Population under study, which was considered as the sample, included students of a course in a ...

Category Similarity as a Predictor for SVM Learning Performance

In this paper we propose a method for the prediction of learning performance in Support Vector Machines based on a novel definition of intraand inter-class similarity. Our measure of category similarity can be easily estimated from the learning data. In the second part of the paper we provide experimental evidence to support the effectiveness of this measure.
