   This post here seems to me to be getting warm. I’m skeptical about getting very far at all viewing this method as a way to assess value or quality of answers, but it certainly might be able to say “this is an •unusual• answer,” which might be truly useful feedback as well as being a head start for graders about which answers need special attention.

     (19/23) The method described here could be embodied in a tool that takes a first pass at scoring to remove some of the friction, and who knows, maybe this would be enough to promote more formative assessment.

     (18/23) Law schools are notorious for basing grades on a single high-stakes final exam. Despite the proven benefits of frequent formative assessments, they are rarely deployed. Why is that? Because law school classes are large, and grading questions is hard.
