N2 - Assessing student understanding by evaluating their free text answers to posed questions is a very important task. However, manually, it is time-consuming and computationally, it is difficult. This paper details our shallow NLP approach to computationally assessing student free text answers when a reference answer is provided. For four out of the five test sets, our system achieved an overall accuracy above the median and mean.
