[SO-101] Dataset labeling consistency for classroom demos for educators schools (intermediate)

How are you keeping SO-101 classroom dataset labels consistent enough that different students or teams still produce comparable data?

A hidden problem in SO-101 classroom datasets is not only capture quality but labeling consistency: different people use the same label words in slightly different ways, which hurts training and evaluation later.

How are you keeping dataset labels consistent across many classroom demos or student teams?

Please share how you define labels, review edge cases, and catch inconsistency before a dataset becomes too messy to compare across sessions.

If you reply, include one exact labeling disagreement and one exact rule or review step that made labels more consistent.

Comment 1

Useful replies will show how a small rubric or example set reduced disagreement. That is what other educators will try first.

Comment 2

If you found one label category caused most confusion, call it out. Searchers often land here because of exactly one ambiguous class.

Comment 3

Annotation QA processes do not need to be heavy. Practical lightweight steps are welcome here.
