Abstract
Assessing numerous models from students in written exams or homework is an exhausting task. We present an approach for a fair and transparent assessment of the completeness of models according to a natural language domain description. The assessment is based on checklists generated by the tool Sumo χ. Sumo χ directly works on an annotated version of the original exam text, so no ‘gold standard’ is needed.
