If a paper contains an insufficient amount of original writing to be scored, or if it is off-topic or illegible, it will receive a 0. A paper is scored at least 2 times. If the two readers do not give a paper adjacent scores, the paper will be scored by a third reader. The third reader will only score the domains for which non-adjacent scores were given. The PACT Exit Exam will be implemented in 2003.
Objectivity is impossible.
Participate in one group grading session and you'll realize that. The amount of writing students do should be far more than a teacher can evaluate.
