Subj : Auto-grading aptitude tests (was: Software Job Market Myths) To : comp.programming,comp.software-eng From : rem642b Date : Wed Aug 17 2005 11:48 pm > From: Richard Heathfield > The aptitude test could be designed in such a way that it could be > marked by a clerk, or even a computer. I'm curious to know more specifics of how you consider such a test. For example, do you have in mind multiple choice and T/F, or do you also include missing-word questions, short-answer questions, and essay questions? I ask because I developed some technology that would make missing-word questions trivial to auto-grade, short-answer questions almost trivial to auto-grade, and essay questions easy to coach and roughly-rate. Do you know anyone with funding to support further development of such automated grading? .
