Education QUESTION #6766

Question 934

When scoring essay examinations, a teacher reads each complete paper fully before assigning an overall grade, sorting papers into piles (A/B/C/D/F). No sub-scores are given for specific elements. This approach reflects which scoring method, and what is its MOST significant advantage over the alternative?

Analytic rubric; provides more detailed feedback per criterion
Holistic scoring rubric; enables quicker scoring and is most appropriate when no single pre-specified correct answer exists, such as in synthesis and evaluation tasks✔️
Inter-rater scoring; maximizes consistency between two scorers
Criterion-referenced scoring; ensures all students are compared to the same absolute standard

Correct Answer Logic:

The described procedure — reading the full response and assigning a single overall score without breaking it into criteria — is holistic scoring. Its key advantage is efficiency (quicker to score) and appropriateness for extended-response tasks involving synthesis and evaluation, where performance is a gestalt that is difficult to decompose into discrete point-scoring elements.
