## 题目原文

00:00:01,780 
 Now turn to section three on page five. 
 00:00:07,400 
 Section three. 
 00:00:09,420 
 You will hear two students called Sally and Steve discussing Sally's project on peer assessment, a system where students mark each other's work. First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-four on page five. 
 00:00:56,940 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-four. 
 00:01:04,640 
 I can't believe you're still in the library, Sally. You've been here all day. Are you still working on your peer assessment project? 
 00:01:12,260 
 Hi, Steve. Yes, I'm still here, and I'm nowhere near finished. 
 00:01:16,880 
 Mm. 
 00:01:16,920 
 I'm still processing the reading I've done on peer assessment. I'm interested to see if students marking each other's work is beneficial. I know a lot of the other students are pretty skeptical about its value as a way of assessing their performance. They think the tutors are in favor of it because they don't have to spend so long marking. 
 00:01:37,190 
 Mm. 
 00:01:37,200 
 But I disagree. I think we can learn a great deal from it. 
 00:01:40,860 
 Yes. I can see one advantage being that it saves time spent going over things in class. 
 00:01:46,860 
 Well, initially, it doesn't seem to work that way, and it can be quite a time-consuming business because sometimes things have to be marked again if the tutor thinks the student's assessments aren't reliable. The real gain is the fact that the students learn to stand back and assess their own assignments objectively because they're much more familiar with the marking system. 
 00:02:09,520 
 Yes, I can see that. It gives them an opportunity to reflect on their own performance. And how do they feel about having another student mark their work? Is that good for rapport? 
 00:02:21,160 
 In some cases, yes. In some cases, no. 
 00:02:24,420 
 Mm. 
 00:02:25,180 
 I think more research is needed to answer that question. 
 00:02:28,580 
 What happens if a tutor notices that the marks for a particular assignment seem wrong? Should the students mark them again? 
 00:02:36,200 
 That might not make any difference. So in that case, the tutor would have to remark all those assignments and then go through the marking criteria really carefully with the students on the next assignment with some sample answers. 
 00:02:49,580 
 Right. 
 00:02:50,620 
 I've been reading about a research project on peer assessment. The researchers invited a group of students from two different universities to attend a one-day conference. They also invited some university lecturers to attend. Each student gave a short presentation on a project of their choice. Each of these presentations was assessed individually by all the participants, both students and lecturers. To support their marking, they used a set of assessment guidelines that had been prepared the day before by a random selection of students. 
 00:03:28,920 
 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-five to thirty on page six. 
 00:03:48,060 
 Now listen and answer questions twenty-five to thirty. 
 00:03:55,420 
 So were the student markers reliable? 
 00:03:58,500 
 Well, comparisons were made between certain categories of student markers and the group as a whole, including the lecturers. The findings showed that there were some variations in the way different groups marked. Gender did come into play, for example. 
 00:04:14,360 
 I expect the male students were more generous when marking female presenters, were they? 
 00:04:19,780 
 Quite the reverse, actually. 
 00:04:21,589 
 Mm. 
 00:04:21,620 
 They were harder on the female presenters than on the males, which wasn't what I'd expected either. 
 00:04:27,270 
 Mm. Did female students show any bias towards male presenters? 
 00:04:31,500 
 Interestingly not. 
 00:04:33,240 
 So does that suggest women are fairer and more reliable markers than men? 
 00:04:37,900 
 Well, I wouldn't go that far. It's only a small sample. But significantly, the results showed that when women marked other women, this didn't affect the grades they gave. 
 00:04:49,000 
 Mm. What about age? Were you able to come to any conclusions about that? 
 00:04:54,400 
 Yes, because we had some mature students presenting, and we found the marks awarded to them by their younger peers were rather more generous. 
 00:05:03,040 
 Oh, I wonder why that is. 
 00:05:05,800 
 Now, you said there were groups of students from two universities. Did they tend to favor students making presentations from their own universities? 
 00:05:15,080 
 It didn't seem to influence marking one way or the other, which is quite encouraging. We've been interested to see if students' personal relationships affected their objectivity. One striking variation, though, was in the students who'd been asked to help devise the criteria for the marking scheme. They were actually the toughest markers of all, marking consistently below the tutors. 
 00:05:37,820 
 Really? Well, it sounds as if it's generated lots of useful data. I expect you'll be here for day... 
 00:05:46,980 
 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
