• Examination of the Quality of Multiple-choice Items on Classroom Tests (2011, background): “Although it is generally recommended that classroom-type assessments have a reliability of at least 0.70 (Downing, 2004), more than half of the tests we looked at had either unadjusted or adjusted values of Cronbach’s alpha that fell short of this criterion.”
• Two Criteria for Good Measurements in Research: Validity and Reliability (2017, neutral): “The general rule is that reliability greater than 0.8 are considered as high [Downing, 2004].”
