Abstract

Essays and short answers are crucial testing tools for assessing academic achievement, integration of ideas and ability to recall, but are expensive and time consuming to grade manually. Manual grading of essays takes up a significant amount of instructors' valuable time, and hence is an expensive process. Automated grading, if proven to match or exceed the reliability of human graders, will significantly reduce costs. The work done in our project on Content Analyzer System analyzes the subjective type answers and grade them based on the features of a written text such as language, grammar, organization and content . Our system automatically grades the essays or short answers based on the above mentioned features and provides the user with essay statistics which includes word count, sentence count, paragraph count and the overall weighted score which is the mean of scores of each feature.
