Zusammenfassung:Markit© is an Automated Essay Grading (AEG) system capable of running on typical desktop PC platforms. Its performance compares favourably with human graders and with commercially available systems. A distinct advantage of Markit over existing commercial systems is that it requires only one model answer against which the student essays are compared. In this paper we report on a trial of Markit with second year law students' essays. Keywords: Automated Essay Grading (AEG); Natural Language Processing (NLP); semantics; electronic thesaurus.
