Abstract
This study is based on the course demand to reflect how the teachers respond to students’ request properly in community college. In this study, we proposed an alternative demand-supply strategy for better managing this issue. The fuzzy decision system was used to evaluate the situation of course demand and supply in community college. We retrieve the related managerial features of community college and build up course management influencing indicators, such as students request, curriculum planning, teaching professional, considerate service, and interpersonal communication to interpret the issues. Finally, we propose the rule-based strategy for better managing the community college. The result reveals that the course management strategies may provide the teachers for enhancing their teaching performance in the community college.
