Logic Vs Effort
Logic is a discipline. Some A(s) are B(s) Some B(s) are A(s) therefore all A(s) are B(s) is by definition is illogical. It seems on occasion that teachers are using logic and effort interchangeably. A student can exert effort and should be rewarded, students can have opinions and should be rewarded for thinking about the course content, but they cannot have their own logic. When we grade the process holistically don't we run the risk of rewarding illogical thinking because he student puts forth effort?
