Assessing the line-by-line marking performance of n_Gram string similarity method / Arsmah Ibrahim ... [et al.]

Manual marking of free-response solutions in mathematics assessments is very demanding in terms of time and effort. Available software equipped with automated marking features to mark open-ended questions has very limited capabilities. In most cases the marking process focuses on the final answer on...
