Dear Teresa
It might not be of much relevance, but a couple of years ago I looked
at the marking of portfolios, largely concurring with Baume and
Yorke's earlier work but also finding indications of disparity between
those marking for the first time (first time for that assessment,
rather than first time ever!). This suggests that some form of
standardisation procedure is desirable.
Tomkinson B & Freeman, J.M. 2007, 'Using portfolios for assessment:
problems of reliability or standardisation? ', Enhancing Higher
Education Theory and Scholarship, HERDSA, pp. 574-583.
