Abstract |
The present article focuses on a persistent bias observed in evaluating graduation theses and oral presentations. Inspections on score distributions marked by chairs and deputy-chairs revealed that th...e same person exhibited opposite directions of bias, depending on the role given to the person: chairs generally scored higher than deputy-chairs, with a smaller variance. This tendency has been confirmed with observations from the recent two years of practice. Thus, it is fair to employ both chairs and deputy-chairs in the evaluation, despite the effort staffs have to pay. Moreover, this built-in antagonistic system also activated scientific discussions at oral presentations, which actually gave favorable impression to same attending students.show more
