- Y-bar 7mo agoI agree. But it hinges a lot of how it is graded. If it is mostly a ”show your work”/”show your reasoning” kind of grading where your width and depth of attempts are more important than success then it seems OK.

- ryandrake 7mo agoIt also sounds vulnerable to bias, unless the teacher modified each project in the same ways. How did they ensure they gave each student an equally difficult challenge and didn't consciously or unconsciously make it easier and harder for different students?
- onionisafruit 6mo agoPresumably they do the same thing for every student. I hope they aren’t unplugging a cable for one student while taking a sledgehammer to the next student’s router.
