The research paper addresses students' performance in higher education. It proposes using the MCDM method - Promethee II to assess students' knowledge and the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) methods for grade classification. The main goals are tracking and diagnosing students' knowledge levels, predicting their outcomes, and providing tailored recommendations. It helps to identify students at risk of not passing the course and evaluates teaching methods. This encourages student engagement and progress during the course. The research demonstrates the suitability of Promethee II, MLP, and KNN methods for effectively monitoring, classifying, and predicting students' progress during the semester, enhancing the objectivity of the assessment process.
