One simple approach to student diagnosis is known as performance measuring. Performance measuring checks a student’s domain related knowledge by looking at solutions to problems. Counters within the student model can be set to indicate what has and has not yet been learned. Although this is a straight forward method of measuring a student’s performance it gives reasonable clues about what type and how much information the learner will need.
