Here are suggested answers to the Definitions items in this chapter of the Online Learning Center website.

1. Intra-rater reliability is an important principle defined as the degree to which an evaluator/grader applies the same criteria to all writing samples that he/she is grading. Fatigue can certainly play a role in the degree of intra-rater reliability.
2. Analytical scoring of writing assignments is the compilation of various component scores that sum to a final score. Writers might receive component scores for content, organization, and vocabulary. The three together would equal their final score.
3. Responding to form can be realized in a number of ways including correcting errors, coding errors, highlighting errors without correcting (or coding) them, or simply commenting in the margin (or at the end) on form issues that are in need of improvement.
