From the article: "All essays scored by E-rater are also graded by a human and discrepancies are sent to a second human for a final grade. Because of that system, ETS does not believe any students have been adversely affected by the bias detected in E-rater."
- snazz 7y agoThat particular company seems to do a not-horrible job. But they’re not the only game in town, so presumably most or many essays are graded by another company’s system.
- shkkmo 7y agoAlso from the article: > Of those 21 states, three said every essay is also graded by a human. But in the remaining 18 states, only a small percentage of students’ essays—it varies between 5 to 20 percent—will be randomly selected for a human grader to double check the machine’s work. So that applies only in a minority of cases.
