Should Computer System Replace A Human Grader?

Should Computer Grade Your Essay?
In reading this case study it was hard to come to terms that there some Universities that are presently using computer software to grade a student essay. How was that possible, how can a computer software understand what a student is writing and why the student is writing those words. This student is thankful that he just has to answer the case study question, since when he finishes reading this case study he had more questions than answers. The case study questions to answer for this assignment are as follows. Identify the kinds of systems described in this case. What are the benefits of automated essay grading? What are the drawbacks? Can automated essay grading replace a human grader? Why or why not?
Why or why not?
It is the opinion of this writer that an automated essay grading system should never take the place of a human grader. To quote “To be or not to be, that is the question” or “How do I love thee, let me count the ways” How can artificial intelligence understand what the writer is thinking as they write these words onto paper. How can artificial intelligence understand the creatively of the written words and the meaning behind them? Or even that famous joke of Abbot and Costello, who is on first, I can see the system having a field day with that one. So no, automated essay grader should not replace a human grader.
What management, organization, and technology factor should be considered when deciding whether to us AES?
The best way I can see to answer the above question is to just list the factors that should be considered and they are as follows.
1. What would the quality of education be if a university uses this system?
2. Would massively open online courses (MOOCs) be better with this system or with instructors?
3. Are we ready to the trust artificial intelligence to teach the students of today with the feedback they may
That would depend on the type of paper being graded, for example, if this was a simple multi-choice or pick one type of test, then no this writer would not since it is a simple right or wrong type of test. Now if this was an essay or paper than this writer would say there is a 50-50 chance the writer would be suspicious. Why? If it was just checking the spelling or grammar, then this writer would have no problem with it, but, if it was graded on the content of what the writer was writing, the creatively, the meaning behind what the writer is writing and why the writer is using those words, then yes, this writer would question the grade since there is no way a machine can understand the feeling of what the writer is writing and why the writer is writing those words. Only a human can understand that feeling, emotions, the creatively, by reading what the writer wrote. The words “To be or not to be, that is the question,” would mean nothing to a machine, but to a human, it can mean
