TiHE Podcast: Grading Exams with Integrity

Podcast Episode: Grading Exams with Integrity
Author: Bonni Stachowiak with guest Dave Stachowiak
Publication: Teaching in Higher Ed
Date: October 1, 2015

On this podcast episode, Stachowiak and Stachowiak discuss strategies for reducing bias in the grading of exams.  Many of these strategies can be extrapolated to many different forms of assessment which readers may want to use "blind" scoring for.  Some of the techniques discussed include blind grading, grading by item instead of student, ensuring inter-rater reliability among multiple graders, and providing transparency frameworks for grading practices.  They also discuss the importance of returning feedback to students to allow for adjustment and improvement.
