MYAccess! versus Write. To. Learn

“Write. To. Learn in their own eyes” How does it score? The Essay Component, using the KAT engine, assesses the content of an essay, as well as more mechanical aspects of writing. When a student submits an essay for scoring, the system immediately measures the meaning of the essay. It then compares the essay to the essays on which it was trained, looking for similarities and assigns a holistic score in part by placing the essay in a category with the most similar training essays. Analytic scoring occurs in much the same way. For each trait, the system assesses that trait in the student essays, compares it to the training essays, and then categorizes the trait in question. What feedback does it provide? Students can receive a variety of feedback on their essays, such as a holistic score and analytic scores on different writing traits. Students may also receive feedback on spelling, grammar and redundancy, as well as on the length of their essays.
