While I appreciate that the study compares human scoring to computer scoring, I wonder how the criteria that the humans used in the study compared with the CCSS writing criteria. Since critical thinking is important, and since the computer scoring cannot accomplish that, I have little appreciation for computer scoring's uses.

I agree w/ you Bonnie but these are the types of questions people need to be asking as the robo graders ain't goin' away anytime soon!
