GRADING EXAMS WITH INTEGRITY

PODCAST NOTES

Grading exams with Integrity

In today's episode, Dave Stachowiak and I share about ways to reduce the potential for introducing bias while grading exams.

Risks of bias in grading exams

Techniques to reduce potential bias

  • Grade by question, not exam
  • Inner-rater reliability practices
  • Block time for grading during peak energy hours

  • *** Re-grade the earlier exams, to avoid what Dave spoke about…
