Synthesized evaluation of free-format reports by automatic marking using a computer and teacher's evaluation

摘要

The process of evaluating and grading reports submitted by students' is one of the most effective means of assessing the student level of understanding. However, because of the time and effort involved for a teacher to check and evaluate these reports, he/she cannot frequently require students to submit many reports within a framework of time. In order to improve this situation, we designed the prototype system that aims to raise efficiency in assisting the teacher to reduce the time and effort spent in grading students' reports. This system enables the teacher's load to be decreased by automating the grading of the report and a part of the evaluation. In this paper, the concept and architecture of this system are discussed.
