Thank ``Goodness''! A Way to Measure Style in Student Essays
Essays have two major components for scoring - content and style. In this paper, we describe a property of the essay, called goodness, and use it to predict the score given for the style of student essays.

We show that, despite being quite intuitive, our approach is very powerful in predicting the style of the essays.
