Excellent thread. I'm 100% with Timothée here, and admiring his approach to grading.
A student wrote to me after the midterm, and they said they should have gotten a lower grade. I think this is important, because I fundamentally disagree with this student, and it took me a while to articulate why. This is my rough draft. 🧵
