Adjustment of Assessors’ First Impressions Differs by Student Ethnicity
Our results do not show evidence of assessor bias in first impressions being an explanation for ethnicity-related differential attainment. However, our finding that rating changes were larger for minority than majority students could indicate that they are generally more scrutinized by assessors, which may affect them positively, but also negatively.
