Don't they run it by human graders afterward? (Automatic essay grading is a terrible idea)
-
-
-
Unless something has changed in the last three years. I used to work for ETS and humans were graders then.
-
Yes, the NPR piece says "GRE essays are still always scored by a human reader as well as a computer," but notes that several states are using automatic grading only (with no pesky humans) for their standardized tests.
-
On the GRE, this would get a 0 from the human grader, triggering another human to have to read it and decide on the final grade.

"If someone's smart enough to pay attention to all the things that an automated system pays attention to, and to incorporate them in their writing, that's no longer gaming, that's good writing...So you kind of want to give them a good grade." That is so thick and question-begging
-
That's... the definition of gaming. Like, yes, ok, I would contend that learning to manipulate a system in this way requires skill and effort and, yes, critical thinking. But it's still GAMING, and it's not the same as writing, much less writing well.
-
And more importantly, the goal of teaching writing isn't (or shouldn't be) to teach students to game the system with some scattershot vocabulary words. What a bizarre mindset.

WHOA… I've never seen a more furiously sleeping colourless green idea.

May I take the liberty of introducing a bot I made,
@c010r13ssgr33n ? It makes variations of the Chomsky sentence

Ah, but what we'd all do for an amanuensis!

I'm up for enthralling the analysis.

I didn't read the tweet, only the screenshot, and thought I was having an aneurysm or something.

"The perjured imaginativeness lies in the area of theory of knowledge but also the field of literature." So self aware, and deprecating. I can see why they gave this robot perfect marks

I have so many angry opinions about the GRE
-
I was afraid when I went for my PhD that my writing score would sink me. Apparently my writing sample, which was an excerpt of my MA thesis made them IGNORE the standardized bullshit. Apparently this English professor has more than "minimum writing competence"

-
I think about all the time I spend with students unteaching the five paragraph essay but then you have to do it again when you will never never use that form in grad school
-
EXACTLY!!!! I'm sorry but I can actually write. My bad 5 paragraph essay!
-
I don’t think I seeded mine with enough unnecessary five-dollar words.

লোড হতে বেশ কিছুক্ষণ সময় নিচ্ছে।
টুইটার তার ক্ষমতার বাইরে চলে গেছে বা কোনো সাময়িক সমস্যার সম্মুখীন হয়েছে আবার চেষ্টা করুন বা আরও তথ্যের জন্য টুইটারের স্থিতি দেখুন।
