Improving Automatic Exams Using Generic UML Model for Better Analysis and Performance Evaluation

In this paper we are proposing a generic visual model for automatic exam system. We use UML as modeling language to model this system. This model is totally generic and extendable according to the requirements of any type of institution which conducts automatic exams. Furthermore, this model also helps in improving automatic exam system by showing performance analysis of students and evaluation using WEKA data mining methods.
