>Thus, a simple solution to grading-related bias is for students to write their names at the very end of any test or assignment, so the grader only knows their identity after scoring the work.
So the scoring should happen before reading to the end the test or assignment?
And I would be curious to know what would be the simple solution to prevent the grader to peek at the name anyway ...
- llampx 4y agoIf the assignment is online, there's absolutely no need for the teacher or grader to know the name or ID of the student at all. If its offline, there can be an ID assigned which can change randomly. In some exams I've sat for, they used IDs to avoid people cheating or playing favorites.

Yep, that is standard practice for many exams, but here we are talking of "common assignments" in a school. My note was about the fact that writing the name on the document (be it electronic or paper) but at the end of it, is very simple but not a solution to anything, if you prefer is a simple non-solution.
