Is it true or false that an objective evaluation requires an instructor to exercise professional judgement independently of a standardized measure?

An objective evaluation indeed relies on standardized measures to ensure consistency and fairness in assessing performance. The essence of an objective evaluation is that it minimizes personal biases and relies heavily on quantifiable criteria, which can be evaluated uniformly across different individuals. Standardized measures provide a common ground for assessment, allowing for comparisons that are not influenced by an instructor's personal judgment or subjective interpretation.

While instructors can exercise professional judgment in their evaluations, that judgment should ideally align with standardized measures to maintain objectivity. Thus, the assertion that an objective evaluation requires an instructor to act independently of standardized measures is misleading, as true objectivity can only be maintained through those measures.
