known or not-known by each individual student.This is accomplished by using Bayes rule to calculate the posterior probability of concepts giventhe answers provided by the student to various questions.Transition probabilities between concepts and questions are based on the type of answersprovided. For example, a correct answer to Quiz1_V requires the student to master vectors (V),see Fig.2. This prompts P(Quiz1_V=C|V=known)=0.7 and P(Quiz1_V=X|V=known)=0.01where X is either A, B, or D. This conditional probability corresponding to answering correctlycan be easily constructed, however, the more interesting probability of answering incorrectlywhen the concept is not known is more challenging to define. This is related to themisconceptions that the

We quantized the grades using standard methods (10 for A, 8for B, etc.) Most of the faculty members had chosen the best faculty from their department (80%)or from the first year department (14 %). Since departments have varying numbers of facultymembers, we graded them by departments.
