In this paper, a new evaluation method for under-graduate education quality is proposed based on Artificial Intelligence Neural Network Back-Propagation (BP) algorithm and stress testing. Using this method, a publically available indicator pool is constructed, consisting of 19 variables in 4 dimensions such as Teaching Attitude, Teaching Content,…
