Academic Achievement Prediction Model Using Neural Networks

Academic Achievement Prediction Model Using Neural Networks

This study aims to develop the academic achievement prediction (ACP) model using Neural Networks. It is capable of predicting the student's result in Programming I (C Language) subject for Kolej Agama Sultan Zainal Abidin, Kuala Terengganu. This model allows the system administrator to train an...
