Abstract :
We describe our web-based system for the analysis of students´ results on the course Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering by applying the method of Formal Concept Analysis. We have focused on the students´ answers and constructed their concept lattices or taxonomies of the subject matter. Finally, we have shown that this approach corresponds well with the actual students´ overall results and final grades.
