Recommending personalized tips on new courses for guiding course selection

A computer program that helps students select courses is described in this paper. Only the overall structure of the program is presented. The program first collects evaluations, using a list of criteria, from many students. Then, when an individual student wishes to select courses, her or his responses to the criteria are matched to the many-students set of responses. From the match, the program suggests appropriate courses new to the student or predicts the student’s performance in a particular course. In some cases, using only a few of the criteria may be more effective. I gather the program has not been coded or tested, but is based on an implemented and evaluated program for selecting hotels.

This is a short, mostly straightforward, paper, but does need more discussion of how to proceed after the match is made. The idea is promising, but needs much development.
