9. Solving Grading Bias Issue  Online session students and face-to-face session students may get different grade for this section, how to be fair?  I will make sure the average score for both sessions’ students in this portion is equal to each other  For example, if the average score of online students in this portion is 90, the average score of face-to-face students in this portion is 80, then:  All online students’ score in this portion will be multiplied with 8/9 9
