Abstract
After an exam in which the order of question presentation was varied on the basis of pre-established difficulty levels, student perceptions of the test, course, and instructor were compared. Perceptual scores for 68 Ss across nine evaluative factors were analyzed. The hypothesized existence of a primacy/recency halo effect on perceptual bias received partial support. Five of nine factors were significant in the hypothesized direction at the .05 level.Keywords
