This study examines second-year law students’ experiences of evaluating administrative decisions across two successive course implementations. In 2023 (N=250), students were randomly assigned to either an Independent Scoring Format (ISF), where they rated individual decisions, or Comparative Judgement (CJ), where they compared pairs of decisions. Post-activity survey data, including open-ended responses, were analysed for both groups. In 2024 (N=…
Beyond reliability
Introduction Adaptive Comparative Judgment (ACJ) has been promoted as a promising alternative to criteria-based grading, yet evidence of its performance in high-stakes, text-intensive higher-education contexts remains limited. This study examines the applicability of ACJ as a grading method for complex, text-based assessments in higher education. Method: ACJ was applied post hoc to examination papers from two third-year law courses at a Norwegian…
Exploring the practical feasibility of adaptive comparative judgment as a summative assessment method
This study explores the practical feasibility of Adaptive Comparative Judgment (ACJ) as a summative assessment method in legal education, focusing on a Property and Intellectual Property Law course at a Norwegian university. Eight examiners assessed 300 student responses using ACJ within traditional time constraints, performing pairwise comparisons to rank submissions by quality. Findings reveal that examiners completed fewer comparisons than req…
