Abstract

In this paper, we propose a deep model of course quality evaluation using deep neural network, which is simple and efficient to accurately evaluate the course quality. Specifically, we utilize multi-layer fully-connected (FC) layers with different activation functions to model the network. We perform a series of simulation experiments to evaluate the effect of FC layer number and activation functions. Simulation experiment results verify that the proposed model has excellent performance.
