Automatic Assessment of Student Answers Consisting of Venn and Euler Diagrams

Abstract

Venn and Euler diagrams are well-defined mathematical diagram types, which are the major representation methods of Set Theory. Venn and Euler diagrams are part of major Mathematics examinations in secondary education such as London Ordinary Level and SAT. Although computer assessment of different diagram types has been addressed, no such research has been done for Venn and Euler diagrams. In this research, we present a system capable of automatically assessing student answers consisting of Venn and Euler diagrams. The student answer is compared against a model answer, and marks are allocated according to a marking rubric.
