Machine Learning Based Sentiment Analysis of Student Feedback in Higher Education
Abstract: Educational institutions routinely collect feedback from students to understand their perceptions of academic programs, infrastructure, and campus facilities, to improve the overall quality of the college environment. In current practice, feedback is often gathered using numerical or grade-based rating systems, which tend to oversimplify student opinions and may overlook important details related to their level of satisfaction. In contrast, open-ended textual feedback allows students to clearly express their views, concerns, …
