摘要:AbstractAssessment is the process of which the quality of the candidate achievements can be judged. Automated assessment tools can be useful assistants to human examiners. This paper discusses a work on an automated assessment tool that applied a node-link analysis technique. The tool is able to assess short sentences answers. It uses Part-of-speech as important criteria during the node analysis process. Results have shown that using more relevant Part-of-speech gives a more reliable assessment results in judging a learners’ understanding on a particular subject matter.
