Tutor Marked Assignments at the Open University: A Question of Reliability.

Byrne, Colin

Assessment in Higher Education, v5 n2 p150-67 Apr 1980

The reliability of grading by tutors at the Open University in Great Britain is examined. It is found that essays pose the greatest problem, which affects instruction in the arts, social sciences, and education most greatly. Less cause for alarm is found in other curricular areas. (MSE)
