The Thinking Teacher
I would like to give a definite no but I fear I am behind in today's technology on education. Sixty years ago the in-thing 'machine', a must for an engineer, was a slide rule, slow and limiited in its usage. One could not dream of a pocket calculator.

What prompted you to raise this subject. Is this being a new topic for discussion among master teachers?
assallam pakcik, haha, not a topic among master teachers pakcik..just something i stumbled upon. it's a question of reliability isn't it? I've heard of the idea of having a machine assess compositions about 5 years ago. i guess it's now possible...who would've ever thought of that?
