When teaching identical online courses, a woman receives harsher comments and lower scores than a man

While it may seem that women are freely choosing to opt out of math-intensive STEM careers, these choices are constrained by implicit STEM-male stereotypes that may have been unconsciously ingrained since childhood, researcher says
