Walker, D. J.; Palmer, E. – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2011
It has often been suggested that actual or anticipated final grades may influence the ratings given by students in student experience surveys but few studies have been able to test this using actual grades. A study was carried out involving six courses over all four year levels of an undergraduate engineering programme, where students were asked…
