    Physical and Earth Sciences Newsletter Number 156 Friday April 20, 2012 Robots Are Grading Your Papers! the Chronicle of Higher

    Physical and Earth Sciences Newsletter Number 156 Friday April 20, 2012 Robots Are Grading Your Papers! The Chronicle of Higher Education has an article about robots being used to grade student essays. Many of us find that a bit scary and wonder if a robot can really tease out the message in our student compositions. I know that I was not impressed with the very cut-and-dried attitude of computer grading for higher level thinking at a recent workshop. However, the writer of the article in the Chronicle (Marc Bousquet) makes an excellent point. He first establishes that computers do grade essays as well as humans. He then points out: The fact is: Machines can reproduce human essay-grading so well because human essay-grading practices are already mechanical. [Ouch!] The article then ventures into the idea of robots teaching. We know that robots are already teaching, just look at the on-line homework help systems offered by various book publishers. The question I have is, how mechanical are we making our teaching? Is mechanical teaching a good or a bad thing? Is this really the future for teaching? Please note the Department meeting at 12:30 on Monday. If you have some comments about robots teaching, or anything else, please bring them up at the meeting. -Lou Department News Department Meeting We will have a Department meeting at 12:30 on Monday in 202 Martin Hall. Yes, we will have pizza. Final Grades for Spring 2012 Semester Spring 2012 Final Grades are due Tuesday, May 1 at 1:15 pm.
