Variability in assessor responses to undergraduate essays: An issue for assessment quality in higher education

By Sally O'Hagan

Academic standards in higher education depend on judgements of individual academics assessing student work. For complex performances like essays, judgements of quality are grounded in tacit expertise. This book explores the criteria and standards forming the basis of these judgements through an empirical study of university assessment practices.
