CHALLENGES FOR MAKING AUTOMATIC QUESTION PAPER GENERATOR SYSTEM 1.

Mapping of ‘gestions with the Cours owtcomes is one of the importat shalleges faced while making Question paper. So Question paper validation i o be ensued fo get desired standard from futeome atsinment perspective as well a» lenning levels perspective 2. No repetition of questions While making question paper_ many a times patterns or tepefitions ay occur.

Chapter wise allocation ‘As there are ditftreat types of exams like unit test and end ewester exam, 10 cach exam has diffreat modules of lhapters covered ott which the queton paper as to. be fgeterated. So challenge faced hare is to make system such ‘hati is able to allocate the question chapter wise or module wise forthe respective exams, 4. Analysis of database In order to effectively assess the students, the important step is to plan the question paper which covers all the vital ‘componente to test knowledge of dent One such taxonomy teas presented by Bloom (1056), who desenived degree of leaning to be classified into six unique domains, namely TRaowledge 2Couprehension ~3Application 4 Analysis SSyathesis 6, Evaluation, the benefit of making questions ‘ped om Bloom's taxonomy prepares to make the questions that help to evaluate leaming ably of the students, to achieve this thing we have to design our database according 0 Bloom's taxonomy which sil cover all types of questions snd challenge faced there isto segregate the questions in the ‘question bank dstibase os per thei types defined by the Bloons taxonony.
