Too many errors could take place and it would be hard to match the exact context of what the writer was trying to say. https://nowcomment.com/documents/33800?scroll_to=336259 https://nowcomment.com/documents/33800?scroll_to=336259 I can see where this automatic grading could be useful when grading multiple choice and matching answers. However, I do not see the benefit of having this software grading short answers and essay. I might be one of the skeptics, but in my mind there is no way for a machine to take words and understand the exact context in which the writer is meaning to use them in. I feel like if this software was to be used in schools then children would eventually be graded unfairly which would result in a whole other mess in itself having to deal with upset students and parents.

If so, then why study when its ultimately fail proof? https://nowcomment.com/documents/33800?scroll_to=336258 https://nowcomment.com/documents/33800?scroll_to=336258 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 14:41:20 -0400
