There's a misalignment between what i'm asking them to do and what kind of thinking i'm trying to create. I think too, another challenge is whether we are creating assignments that eare really alined with our goals. So ifergrading work that we find boring, rgt, or that wewe keep getting the same unsatisfactory answers, then perhaps it is not actually testing the kinds of things which we really want.
