摘　　要：Evaluation is widely acknowledged as a powerful means of improving the quality of education and it is a very important component of the education system. However, the current mainstream evaluation method is based on the examination as the common way, which has very limited help to instructors' teaching. In this paper, based on an online learning platform named "educoder", we design an evaluation method by using "Four-quadrant law", which divides students' learning situations into four types. In addition, we provide some suggestions for instructors about how to give targeted teaching to different students in each type. We verify that our method is useful by setting up experiments. The experiment results show that our method can effectively improve the quality of instructors' teaching.Evaluation is widely acknowledged as a powerful means of improving the quality of education and it is a very important component of the education system.
