Honestly it might be better than the current system.
I graded papers for national high school exams for a few years (non-US) and there was a strict grading guide that you had to follow which took out any and all subjective grading out of the question.
The essay section grading guide was essentially a template that was a must to follow and any deviation would result in panalties.
You had about 30-45min to grade exams that could take 4-6 hours for students to complete and none of the questions were multiple choice they were all long form questions.
With ~30 questions per exam, the time included saving the answers in the electronic grading pad and in the later years in the shitty VB application they provided. (Which I ended up hacking and having a spread sheet import function, this got me kicked out of the exam grading because I tampered with the application...).
We are already robograding papers just with mechanical Turks and in a process which is much less accurate which is why we use 2-3 graders per exam.
Until we find a better overal solution for evaluating student performance I don’t see anything wrong with robogradig exams and student work if anything it might give teachers some more free time to actually teach.
