This requires numerous examiners to painstakingly read through lengthy answers and allocate marks, consuming significant time and manpower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Time Consuming<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manual evaluation of descriptive answers is time-consuming. Evaluators need a lot of time to read and understand lengthy student responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bias and Subjectivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process is subjective and can be biased. Even with careful reading long descriptive answers, absolute accuracy and fairness can&#8217;t be guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Overlooking Paragraphs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some paragraphs of descriptive answers may be overlooked during the evaluation. This can negatively affect a student&#8217;s overall score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dependence on Subject Matter Experts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The method is heavily dependent on experts. These people need to review and score answers, and this can slow down the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Delayed Result Declaration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The time taken for manual evaluations can cause delays in declaring results. Students may experience stress and uncertainty because of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lack of Personalized Feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personalized feedback is hard to provide with manual evaluations. The time-intensive nature of this method often doesn&#8217;t allow for detailed feedback for each student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A study conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an automated descriptive answer evaluation model involved a survey where students&#8217; answers were evaluated both manually by professors and automatically by the model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results showed a high degree of accuracy in automated evaluation, closely mirroring the outcomes of manual grading. This suggests that with advancements in machine learning and computational intelligence, automated systems can significantly enhance the educational assessment landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rise_of_AI_and_Machine_Learning_Technology\"><\/span><strong>Rise of AI and Machine Learning Technology<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eklavvya.com\/remote-proctoring\/\">AI<\/a> and Machine Learning have become a huge part of our daily lives and agreeably so it has made our lives and daily tasks much easier than before. 37% of businesses and organizations use AI.

When the student mentions the required keyword, it can be easier to conclude that the student knows the concept behind answering that particular question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There can be primary and secondary keywords in the answers, the primary keywords are directly linked with answers while secondary keywords are relevant to the question but are closely linked with the primary keyword and not the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For a question-<\/strong> How is it identified if a substance is acidic or basic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ideal answer-<\/strong> A litmus test can be conducted on the solution to understand if the substance is acidic or basic. Alternatively, the pH meter can be used for the same. a pH meter can help us understand the pH which is a measure of acidity or basicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Primary Keywords from the ideal answer-<\/strong> Litmus, Litmus test, pH meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Secondary Keywords form the ideal answer-<\/strong> Acidity, Alkalinity, electrical potential, hydrogen concentration, potentiometric pH, Lichen derived litmus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How can AI help-<\/strong> Once, on the basis of the expected answer, the keywords are fed by the evaluator in the system, the AI can actually scan through the descriptive answers in seconds to search for the keywords and mark these keywords.
