Do Final Grades Reflect Written Qualitative Evaluations of Student Performance?

Cohen, Gerald S.; And Others

Teaching and Learning in Medicine, v5 n1 p10-15 1993

A study compared evaluations by tutors and independent reviewers of 11 medical students with negative performance evaluations and a control group of 21. Results indicated the grading system did detect specific student problems, but independent reviewers identified more problems and identified them earlier than did tutors. Concern is expressed about teacher reluctance to evaluate negatively. (Author/MSE)
