8. Scoring Accuracy Issue E-Rater IntelliMetric Structure v. Content
Focuses on structure (grammar and mechanics) and not content; focuses on a limited set of approximately 5 structural variables.
Captures the full range of structure and content; examines more than 500 features of text and provides a holistic score as well as scores within five major domains/traits.  These traits include focus/meaning, idea/content development, language use, voice and style, organization, and grammar and mechanics.
Detecting Non legitimate responses
Can identify a limited set of non-legitimate responses; can not “catch” off topic essays; all content “looks alike” to e-rater.
Detects the full range of non-legitimate responses including off topic/ inappropriate content.
Consistency with theory and practice of writing
Fails to recognize the importance of audience, purpose and occasion as identified by writing theory and best practices.
Develops prompt-specific scoring models that reflect the unique audience, purpose and occasion
Consistency with writing research
Applying a limited set of five variables with the same weighting across all prompts is inconsistent with what we have learned from writing research.
Multi-faceted models with numerous features of text that reflect the unique rubric are consistent with what we have learned from writing research.
Capturing the complexity of Writing
Overly simplistic linear model of writing that fails to capture the complexity of writing.
Complex model of writing that captures the full breadth and dimensionality of writing with non-linear models.
