As graders go on grading, their comments become more frustrated and their good-will becomes much sloppier. At least that’s the hypothesis to explain this. Researchers found the reverse effect on graders who sorted in reverse-alphabetical order.
Well, yeah. I’d argue that’s better than people with certain names being consistently affected.
They both seem equally bad to me.
You don’t have to have either problem though; both can be avoided easily.
