A small set of 20 writing samples on the topic "Why is writing assessment difficult?", intended for use in examples and tests involving pairing and LLM-based comparisons. The samples vary in quality, approximately from very weak to very strong, and a simple numeric quality score is included to support simulated comparison outcomes.

Usage

data("example_writing_samples")

Format

A tibble with 20 rows and 3 variables:

ID

Character ID for each sample (e.g., "S01").

text

Character string with the writing sample.

quality_score

Integer from 1 to 10 indicating the intended relative quality of the sample (higher = better).
