Using AND OR and NOT conditions in the key to grade open-ended text questions #75

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
For an open-ended text questions, would it be possible and useful to use 
logical statements (or regular expression, but I'm afraid that this may be more 
complex option), that would look for keywords in the text, ignore others and 
grade it accordingly?  The usefulness of it could be to try to automate grading 
of open-ended questions by trying to find proper (or improper) keywords in the 
answers.

While this may not be appropriate for grading all kinds of open-ended question, 
I think it would help.

A related idea is to be able to edit the grades somehow, AFTER Flubaroo graded 
the sheet, so that those edited grades are included and replace the original 
grades in grade summary and those emailed to students.

While I don't think I'll include broad boolean or pattern matching logic, it's 
possible I could add something simple that checks for the presence of or more 
phrases. For example:

%has rabbit, bunny, long ears

would check for at least one of the above. and

%hasall rabbit, bunny, long ears

would require all 3 phrases be present.

That would be very useful I think.  Many thanks!
