Student Self-Grading in Social Statistics
Edwards, Nelta M.
College Teaching, v55 n2 p72-76 Spr 2007
This article analyzes a social statistics class that engaged in self-grading. Students liked self-grading because they identified their own mistakes, it reinforced what they learned, and they received immediate feedback. Some students worried that others would cheat, but this assertion was not confirmed in the data and the possibility of cheating can be controlled in various ways. Self-grading may also reduce student-teacher conflict and student anxiety. (Contains 1 table.)
