It’s an implicit bias but an important one for teachers to be aware of. When possible, shuffle order of what you are grading (so no alphabet or course section is treated differently). One reason I love
@goformative is the anonymity grading feature and the Random Order options
Students with last names later in the alphabet receive lower grades than those in the beginning.
Teachers give higher grades when they start and lower when they are tired of grading.
Teachers that grade Z-A give higher grades to late last names.
Delta is 0.6/100
