NOTE: The intraclass correlation is most appropriate for items with more than two categories. Cohen's Kappa is a measure of reliability that is appropriate for both dichotomously and polytomously scored items. Special codes assigned to student responses including blank, off-task, and not-scorable were not included in the calculation of Cohen's Kappa or intraclass correlation.
