So if they write a terrible paper they can "coast" through the class
How is that teaching them to excel or get better at what they do? Sounds like you are rewarding mediocrity.

It's a moot point. I don't think anything figured out the opportunity, or believed it.

It's not really true improvement if the intentionally write below their ability, because they aren't improving themselves as a writer and as a student...they are just improving on one paper that gives the professor (Dhampy) a false impression of where they really stand in terms of writing ability, critical thinking, etc. It's only a perceived improvement, not true, relevant improvement.

Yes. That is the opportunity I have given them, which they didn't take advantage of.
