Both.
The student is wrong, the assignment has not been met and they deserve to be failed.
However, they have also demonstrated abilities that show they should be nurtured at a higher level and can be mentoring. So get them to think about what's actually required for future assignments while encouraging them to help others.
- CPlatypus 15y agoExactly. Thank you. The student who demonstrates exceptional ability should be rewarded and encouraged, but not with a good grade on an assignment they did not complete properly. Driving toward requirements, no matter how arbitrary or uninteresting they might seem, is an important skill in its own right. Business or career success often requires both technical mastery and discipline.
