A system for thesis report management and evaluation with event-driven architecture

Abstract

At the end of each semester, instructors are tasked with grading a large number of thesis reports. Flaws in many of the submissions take longer to grade which increases their workload. This can be prevented by giving students feedback on those mistakes so that they can revise before the final submission. However, International University does not use any software that analyzes thesis reports. There are also no solutions on the market that can generate feedback based on a predefined template. Therefore, this study develops a system that allows such tasks to be performed. By implementing document processing techniques with an event-driven architecture, the final product is a thesis mangement system that can generate reports on various aspects of a thesis. The system is scalable with room for more comprehensive feedback services to be added in the future. In combination with an intuitive user interface, students and instructors can receive insights and visualized analyses from these reports. Results showed that the feedback generated is descriptive and relatively accurate. They encourage students to revise their thesis and ultimately reduce workload on instructors
