Abstract: Classroom teaching assessments are intended to give valuable advice on the teaching-learning process as it happens. The finest schoolroom assessments furthermore assist as substantial foundations of information for teachers, serving them to recognize what they imparted fittingly and how they can improve their lecture content to keep the students attentive. In this paper, we have surveyed some of the recent paper works done on facial emotion recognition of students in a classroom arrangement and have proposed our deep learning approach to analyze emotions with improved emotion classification results and offers an optimized feedback to the instructor. A deep learning-based convolution neural network algorithm will be used in this paper to train FER2013 facial emotion images database and use transfer learning technique to pre-train the VGG16 architecture-based model with Cohn-Kanade (CK+) facial image database, with its own weights and basis. A trained model will capture the live steaming of students by using a high-resolution digital video camera that faces towards the students, capturing their live emotions through facial expressions, and classifying the emotions as sad, happy, neutral, angry, disgust, surprise, and fear, that can offer us an insight into the class group emotion that is reflective of the mood among the students in the classroom. This experimental approach can be used for video conferences, online classes etc. This proposition can improve the accuracy of emotion recognition and facilitate faster learning. We have presented the research methodologies and the achieved results on student emotions in a classroom atmosphere and have proposed an improved CNN model based on transfer learning that can suggestively improve the emotions classification accuracy.
