Numerous researchers have proposed methods for evaluating the quality of rater-mediated assessments using nonparametric methods (e.g., kappa coefficients) and parametric methods (e.g., the many-facet Rasch model). Generally speaking, popular nonparametric methods for evaluating rating quality are not based on a particular measurement theory. On…

From this point of view it is difficult for universities to focus their attention on economic and financial performance. Instead, it is much more relevant for the university to find models of governance…
