The first example“In my case I could say that I was under assessed in relation to my colleagues on an oral History exam because I was the first to answer. The teacher asked me even more questions than the next colleagues, and I think he was even more demanding when he gave me the grade, which unfortunately was certainly at least one point below the grade I deserved.” (V., female, 17 years old, 10th grade).The second example“At one of the Romanian classes in the 11th grade, I was evaluated among the first from a literary commentary, I think I was underassessed compared to the other colleagues who in turn were questioned and evaluated from the same literary work. I was asked more questions than my colleagues who followed me. In my case, I was not given a grade, but the teacher considered giving one or two points extra for the next grade to those who answered correctly. I received the maximum points offered by her, just like the other colleagues who were assessed, but I think that my first colleague and I were" tormented" a little bit with more questions than the others.” (M., female, 18 years old, 11th grade).The third example“I think I’ve been a somewhat ‘victim’ of this effect several times before, the main reason being that I was getting the same grades as my colleagues who were assessed before me. The teacher did not make any difference between the answers I offered, even if at one lesson he was assessing somewhere up to three students, we all received the same grade. This happens all the time in Geography classes.” (R., female, 19 years old, 12th grade). |
