assign students a B if they simply complete the assignment and then I assign higher grades based on a loose definition in my mind of the “thoughtfulness” of the reflection. Since the interview I have been wondering if this is an appropriate metric for grading and whether I should grade the reflections at all. It would be wonderful to remove the extrinsic motivation of grades from the equation and have students reflect simply from the desire to improve themselves as people and as engineers. However, I worry that many students will not put the energy and thought into reflections if there is not a grade attached to it. Perhaps I will have to experiment with this in the future.
