The methodology of computing with words is focused on the manipulation of words and propositions taken from natural language. Computational theory of perceptions is based on the methodology of computing with words. Computing with words and the computational theory of perceptions are subsets of fuzzy logic. Words act as the labels for perceptions, and perceptions are expressed in natural language propositions.

Abstract
Fuzzy logic can deal with information arising from perception and cognition that is uncertain, imprecise, vague, partially true, or without sharp boundaries. Fuzzy logic can be used for assigning linguistic grades and for decision making and data mining with those linguistic grades by teachers, instructors, and professors. Many aspects of fuzzy logic including fuzzy sets, linguistic variables, fuzzy rules, fuzzy math, fuzzy database queries, computational theory of perceptions, and computing with words are useful in uncertainty management of linguistic evaluations for students. This chapter provides many examples of this after describing the theory of fuzzy logic.
