There have been numerous articles and commentaries about this item. For myself, I consider it a trivial distraction. Not because I am opposed to the use of computers to grade essays - I'm not. Not because this program does it well - it doesn't. But because the use of computers to grade essays is old news and because the use of any instrument (up to and including blind mice) to grade essays would be about as fair and consistent as the current practice. I think, one day, we will get beyond grading, a useless and archaic concept that supposes learning is some sort of competition. In the meantime, we get nonsense like this.
