DOI: 10.1558/equinox.40865

Blurb:

In Chapter 5, we look at scoring, in particular by using rating scales. We introduce various rating scale types and also examine rating scale development methods described in the literature. The chapter concludes by looking at one method increasingly used when scoring without specific scale descriptors – comparative judgement.
