The Criterion service can provide annotated diagnostic feedback for any essay submitted. Educators can create their own prompt for a student assignment. However, the Criterion service can only report a holistic score on those topics assigned from the library of topics, for which it has been “trained.” ETS maintains an annual schedule of adding new topics at each level. Institutions can also work with ETS to create customized topics. The training process for a topic requires approximately 465 essays that have been scored by faculty readers.
