Learning Calculus is one of the challenges that must be faced by engineering students in a
university. In this study, students’ satisfaction of using PowerPoint in learning Calculus was
evaluated. There are several ways in analyzing effectiveness in learning Calculus. So far, not
much attention has been given to analyzing evaluation of students’ satisfaction from the fuzzy
theory perspective. This paper employed the Fuzzy Conjoint Model to evaluate student’s
satisfaction in learning the topic ‘integration’ using PowerPoint application. The fuzzy conjoint
model presents the linguistic terms in five-point Likert scale. In this model, three main attributes
of learning were evaluated: anxiety, learning enjoyment and mobility. The sample of the study
consisted of undergraduate students randomly selected from computer science and applied
sciences program in the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Pahang, Malaysia. The results of
the study support the use of fuzzy conjoint model in the evaluation of student’s satisfaction in
learning Calculus.
