Application of Monte Carlo Simulation in College and University Academic Warning

Abstract:

With the prevalence of credit system, the stipulation of “academic warning” is written into the teaching management constitution by more colleges and universities. However, the establishment of this stipulation hasn’t formed unified and scientific standards at present. This paper aims at studying the credit setting of academic warning through the method of Monte Carlo simulation, and at applying multivariate normal distribution and variance reduction techniques to calculate relatively reasonable academic warning credit line, which provides a new train of thought and a universal method for colleges and universities to set specific standards.
