Hello, hot on, my American seaboe.
Sure, yeah.
So I'm the director of education at No More Marking.
Um we do a lot for about ten years now, we've done a lot involving um comparative judgment of extended writing.
So we do a lot of assessments.
We work with about two thousand schools or in England.
Um so we've done a lot on writing assessment and what we've done in the last kind of twelve to eighteen months is um build a lot more AI into our assessments.
So we now use AI to help teachers make judgments about students' writing and also to help them provide feedback.
So it's been a a very exciting and interesting um at moment in time.
Not not one that we necessarily expected, but but it has been very interesting.
Yeah, sure.
So um if you think of the traditional way of assessing writing, or um you know, look at what you do for GCSEs, A levels, year six SATs, uh how you assess writing is a teacher will have an extended response from the student and what they'll typically have is some kind of mark scheme or rubric that will say, you know, to get the top grade you need to do A B C or XYZ.
Um and the teacher will kind of the marker will progress through each essay, each piece of writing and and grade them all.
That's the traditional way of assessing writing.
And that's a form of what you would call absolute judgment, because what the teacher is doing is they're looking at one piece of writing and trying to place it on an absolute scale.
And the only problem with that is that human beings are not very good at absolute judgment.
We're much better at comparative judgment.
And comparative judgment is when you look at two things and you say which is better.
So if I give you an analogy, as I say this holds true across across all different fields.
If you're trying to uh judge someone's height, the absolute judgment would be, you know, one person walks into the room, you look at them and you say, How tall is that person?
