10-second review: How well do computers evaluate student writing? “How can a computer determine accuracy, originality, valuable elaboration, empty language, language maturity, and a long list of similar qualities that are central to assessing writing? Computers can’t. We must ensure that the human element remains the dominant factor in the assessing of student writing.”

Comment: Haven’t read much about this topic lately. I wonder what the state of computer grading is. RayS.
