Abstract
While automated writing evaluation (AWE) systems typically assess essay quality, we develop a process-oriented approach assessing revision alignment with feedback. Classroom deployments show that student perceptions of AWE feedback correlate with writing improvement. Furthermore, feedback designed to build revision knowledge can enhance student outcomes, shifting focus from product to process.
