As a writing teacher at UNG, I spend a great deal of time during the summer and into August thinking about the incoming group of students I will be closely working with during the fall semester. Currently, I have been thinking a lot about how much of my students’ writing has been graded by a computer and not a human, an unfortunate reality in this era of high-stakes testing. I am not ready to turn over the grading of essays to computers and not just because I have seen “2001: A Space Odyssey” one too many times.
