Background of the Study
The process of marking exams in universities is often time-consuming and prone to human error. As educational institutions in Maiduguri Metropolitan Council, Borno State, continue to embrace digital transformation, the need for efficient, accurate, and scalable methods of exam grading becomes more evident. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize exam marking by automating the process, increasing efficiency, and reducing the subjectivity and errors associated with manual grading. AI-based systems can not only mark exams but also provide instant feedback to students, enhancing the overall learning experience.
This study explores the implementation of an AI-based exam marking system at universities in Maiduguri, focusing on its ability to automate the grading of both objective and subjective questions. The AI system utilizes machine learning algorithms to evaluate responses, assess their accuracy, and provide fair and consistent grades. By integrating AI into the exam marking process, the study aims to enhance the reliability and efficiency of grading in universities.
Statement of the Problem
Universities in Maiduguri Metropolitan Council, Borno State, face challenges in efficiently and accurately grading exams, particularly for large cohorts. The traditional manual grading process is time-consuming, subjective, and prone to errors, which can lead to delays in the release of results and undermine the trust in the grading system. There is a need for an automated solution that can not only speed up the grading process but also ensure fairness and consistency. AI-based exam marking systems have the potential to address these challenges by automating the grading process and providing accurate and immediate feedback to students.
