Blind Marking and Sex Bias in Student Assessment.
Newstead, Stephen E.; Dennis, Ian
Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, v15 n2 p132-39 Sum 1990
Three studies investigating the existence of sex bias in the grading of undergraduate students, by examining interrater reliability for blind and non-blind grading, are reported. Negative evidence found in the results and the confusing picture presented by previous research indicate little firm evidence of sex bias in grading. (Author/MSE)
