It seems I am more frequently encountering students using “bias” instead of “biased.” I believe they just aren’t hearing the “-ed” ending when people say “That opinion is biased.”

Don’t be so prejudice.
I get “use to” a lot.
Oddly enough… As You Like It II.iii
…[T]his night he means
To burn the lodging where you use to lie
And you within it: if he fail of that,
He will have other means to cut you off.
Here “use to” means “where you usually” do it, not “where you were accustomed to” do it in the past.

It’s tough to teach non-native English speakers how to ensure they use the “ed” ending in speech. Hitting that hard “d” at the end of the word is the only way to make it clear. Pronunciation and enunciation matter.
Of course, “bias” is also a verb. I hope my desire to simplify the graphic doesn’t bias your opinion of me.
