I'd interpret that as meaning that the student still needs to get the right answers; a wrong answer won't get marked correctly for writing "as God commands" next to it, and a correct answer won't be marked down for the student writing "praise be to the Lord" at the end of it. ordinary academic standards of substance and relevance - answer must be correct. shall not penalize or reward a student based on the religious content of a student's work - writing something religious won't affect the mark either way (no penalty, no reward), which is still awarded on ordinary academic standards of substance and relevance (i.e. must be correct).
