I m all for looking how to prevent grade inflation and how to ensure consistency and transparency in grading - these are good actions to take on.
This hippy BS on a student that turns in assignments late will be motivated by piling up work to turn them in on time vs getting a B vs an A is absolute hogwash. You reward the students that do assignments on time and to the full expectation, you take off points for assignments being turned in late - sorry this is the way the world works. Don t like it, fine, but don t set kids up for failure by setting an expectation of time irrelevance.
