How Does the Criterion
Service Work?
The Criterion service is powered by e-rater's®
automated scoring technology to provide students with immediate scoring and
diagnostic feedback on essays they submit.
- Holistic Scores
are based on nationally recognized standards.
- Trait Feedback Analysis
focuses on grammar, usage and mechanics; style; and organization and development.
This analysis provides both a summary and in-depth analysis of errors in an
effort to pinpoint areas that require attention.
