Curriculum network graph: relative contribution of courses
by Natarajan Meghanathan
International Journal of Network Science (IJNS), Vol. 1, No. 3, 2017

Abstract: We propose a centrality and topological sort-based formulation to quantify the relative contribution of courses in a curriculum network graph (CNG). We normalise the values obtained for each centrality metric as well as the level numbers of the vertices in a topological sort of the CNG. The contribution score for a vertex is the weighted sum of the normalised values for the vertex. The relative contribution scores of the vertices could be used as a measure of the weights to be given to the courses for curriculum assessment and student ranking as well as to cluster courses with similar contribution.
