Professor
This week, I want you to discuss assessment criteria. Some school teachers give high grades (marks) only to those students who perform well on their homework assignments and tests. Other teachers,however, may give high grades to students who have worked very hard on their assignments but have not performed so well. Which approach do you think is better: Giving grades based only on performance, or grading students not just on performance but also on their effort?

I think grades should be based on performance only. It's a matter of fairness. I'd be really upset if another student got nearly the same grade that I did when I turned in work that was almost perfect and the other student's work had incorrect answers or unclear ideas. It wouldn't matter to me if they worked harder.

Sure, evaluation should mainly be based upon the student's performance, but hard work should count for something. A student who works hard, even when the final grade isn't the highest in the, builds character, which will benefit the student later in life when they go to university or apply for a job.

I believe that grading students based on both performance and effort is a more balanced and comprehensive approach. While performance is a important indicator of understanding and mastery of the subject matter, effort should not be disregarded. Recognizing and rewarding hard work encourages students to develop perseverance,discipline, and a strong work ethic, which are valuable qualities for success in both academic and professional settings.
Moreover, grading based solely on performance can overlook the individual circumstances and challenges that students may face. Some students may put insignificant effort despite personal or learning difficulties, and it is important to acknowledge their dedication and determination. By considering effort alongside performance, teachers can provide a more accurate reflection of a student's overall growth and progress. Additionally, evaluating effort can motivate students to continue striving for improvement.
It instills a sense of intrinsic motivation and self-confidence, as students realize that their hard work is valued and recognized, even if they haven' t achieved the highest grades. In conclusion, combining performance and effort in grading allows for a more holistic assessment of students' abilities and potential. I promotes fairness, acknowledges individual circumstances, and cultivates essential qualities for future success.
