The Effect Of TAs’ Race (Or Not) On Student Grades

I have two posts on National Review Online’s Phi Beta Cons — TAs Like Me” and “TA’s Like Me”: Take Two — discussing a new National Bureau of Economic Research study that purports to find that students get better grades from TAs of their same race. If you think that “purports” signals that I have problems with the study, you’re right.

Say What?
