Dear Colleagues,
I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any studies that have been done, or had any personal experience, of the use of categorical marking (i.e. marking to specific points within a % scale, e.g. 2, 5 and 8% points in each 10% boundary) vs using the full 100% mark range?
We introduced categorical marking some years ago, but it would be useful to have some robust studies I could point to that support (or even refute!) the concept that categorical marking is more robust. If nothing else, it would be useful to hear other people's experiences and local practices.
Many thanks in advance for any thoughts!
