A Case Study on the Influence of Emotions on Students' and Instructors' Marks

摘要

In this work, we analyze the possible existing correlations between student marks, as assigned by their classmates or by their instructors, and the emotion traces that can be found in their writings. For that purpose, data corresponding to 168 contributions of a course on Computer Systems were gathered. The results obtained indicate that some kind of correlation exists between marks and emotions, as in the case of highest marks as at the case of lowest marks.
