Application of fuzzy logic for performance evaluation of academic students

In educational institutions the success is measured by academic performance, or how well a student meets standards set out by governmental educational policies and/or the institutional rules and regulations. This study proposes a new performance evaluation method based on fuzzy logic systems. In our method, we consider three characteristics for one academic course that involves exam1, theoretical exam2 and practical exam3. Then with using fuzzy logic based on Mamdani technique we get a new approach for evaluating students. Results of our methods for some real samples shows that our approach can be practical method for evaluating students' performance in the university.
