This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
If a student evaluating his/her professor at the end of term rates the professor low on all performance criteria due to dissatisfaction with the professor's grading scale, the student has likely committed which rater error?
A. Error based on similarity
B. Halo error
C. Central tendency
D. Horns error
E. Contrast error
Answer:
The correct answer is letter D. Horns error.
Explanation:
Horns error concerns an error made due to negative bias towards a person. When a students evaluates a teacher and rates him low on all performance criteria due to dissatisfaction with the teacher's grading scale, the student is generalizing his judgment. That is, all aspects and conditions are being rated badly because of only one aspect or condition. Instead of taking each point into due consideration, the student is allowing his bias to take over.
