The Reliability of Mathematics Portfolio Scores: Lessons from the Vermont Experience.

Klein, Stephen P.; And Others

Applied Measurement in Education, v8 n3 p243-60 1995

Portfolio scores in the first two years were not reliable enough to permit the reporting of student-level results, but increasing the number of readers or the number of portfolio pieces is not operationally feasible.
