[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the temps looking for when they read? Do they get training first?[/quote]
Yes, there are rubrics and training.[/quote]

Just hope none of them toss aside rubics and embrace the chaos of randomness when scoring. [/quote]

They use a quality control process very similar to AP exams — 2 readers, if there’s a discrepancy it goes to a third, if a reader is consistently out of line they get booted. [/quote]

A UCSB student recently requested to look at his file from last year, and found out there was only 1 reader.  Wouldn’t surprise me if this wasn’t a more widespread issue in the UC system.  [/quote]

It was probably a clear case. You don’t need multiple people for clear case. They save the committee stuff for tough cases. [/quote]

They claim to have 2 readers for every app, not just borderline calls.[/quote]

They can't even staff up enough to offer enough classes for all students to take a full time load so I would not be surprised if they are also cutting corners in admissions. I can't understand why anyone would pay OOS tuition too go there
