- Abstract
Some instructors feel that allowing students to evaluate one another's school work encourages students to assume ownership of the education process, while others feel that this practice is problematic; in that, students may use the opportunity in inappropriate ways. Analysis of survey data from 235 undergraduate students at a large Southeastern university revealed that 32% of the respondents were willing to rate presentations made by students who they perceived to be less-wealthy more harshly than presentations made by students who they perceived to be wealthier students. This result has serious implications for classroom activities that involve students' evaluations contributing to other students' grades.
