This is one reason why I don’t, and haven’t, put grades on student essays for years. I give them all kinds of feedback, but not that kind. “Grades are pedagogically useless.” Of course they’re important from the student perspective—they have an exchange value—but they don’t have an educative use.

  this is the whole ballgame imo. the fact that students can feel like their entire future depends on doing well on a paper doesn’t incentivize learning; it incentivizes doing well on the paper. goes double when those futures depend on having a degree
