peer agreement (net): +2Decisions based on averages / mean(s) Explanation: Decisions (or decision strategies, grading or grading strategies, etc.) based on averages (or the average). I don't think there's an exact phrase for this. Basically the mean can be influenced the variance (or spread) of the data, and therefore it does not (always) provide an accurate reflection of the "average" score (which is why some lecturers are using it to their advantage!): e.g "The reason for this is that grading based on averages will discourage students from simpler contribution, which might pull down their averages. Instead, the teacher gets an overview of the student results when deciding on the final grades for the course." ref. http://cmc.dsv.su.se/KOM2000/help-Courses.html |
