Raters in the study were asked to rate an essay that was labeled as "correct" and another that was categorized as the "wrong" essay.
The results show that, regardless of the "correct" or "wrong" essay, raters gave significantly lower scores when ratings were done with a rubric, and the range and variance of the assigned scores increased significantly, as well.
The "correct" essay fully answered the prompt, but had frequent grammatical and mechanical errors, while the "wrong" essay did not fully answer the prompt, but was well polished and edited.
