Appendix F: Sample Partial Orderings of Students
Above Dominated Studentsby Kalée Tock and Patrick
Suppes June 23, 2002
This appendix shows sample partial orderings of students above
dominated students. There is one dominated student from each grade,
and all connections to that student that come from any layer above
that student are shown. These sample diagrams were chosen for their
complexity. The vast majority of the diagrams generated using the data
of this study are extremely simple; most have only one layer above the
dominated student. This fact points to the phenomenon that when
individual differences in multiple dimensions of ability are taken
into account, the ordering of students according to ability induces
fewer ranks. This finding is further supported by the data in Table 7
in the body of the study.
