In non hard subjects, the 'correct' answer often crosses into opinion.
- absconditus 15y agoOpinions can be well-supported or completely unfounded.
- ahoyhere 15y agoAlso in "hard" subjects, it's a matter of interpretation. Such as, real science. Such as interpreting the results of a finding. There are very few things in life where there is a true, platonic right answer and everything else is wrong. "For large values of 2."
- lazerwalker 15y agoThis is true. However, it's still not that difficult to grade for "well-done" work in subjective areas. Whether the thesis of a literary analysis paper is "correct" may be opinion, for example, but it's definitely possible to grade fairly based on a rubric of "did the student defend their thesis in a clear, organized manner, properly using appropriate citations from the text" (after filtering out theses that are completely inane or insane).
