Syntactic Maturity, Mechanics, and Vocabulary as Predictors of Quality Ratings.

Grobe, Gary

Research in the Teaching of English, v15 n1 p75-85 Feb 1981

A 1979 analysis of student expository writing showed that holistic quality scores awarded by teacher-raters were influenced to a greater extent by essay length and freedom from spelling errors. A replication of that investigation using a sample of students' narrative writing produced the same findings. (HOD)
