I agree more with Kelly that grades should only basedbe based(it would (be) appreciated) on students' perfomanceperformance(misspelling) instead of other factors, such as effort or hard work. First, like Kelly said, it is the fairest way to grade a student. Because the standard teachers use to grade students' performance is clear to every student. If students really work hard, they won't performance[No Replacement Word Found](missing verb after 'will/can/could/would') very bad at the end. Otherwise, other factors like hard work is difficult to measure due to lack of a clear standard. Sometimes teachers may involve some subjective emotions to grade students, which is totally unfair. In conclude, grade students only based on their performance is the fairest and the most objective way.

6.文章修订

I concur with Kelly that grades should be based solely on students' performance, rather than incorporating factors such as effort or hard work. Primarily, evaluating students based on their performance is the fairest approach. All students are well-aware of the standards employed to assess their performance. If they genuinely exert themselves, their results will ultimately reflect their dedication.

Moreover, measuring effort is challenging due to the absence of clear criteria. Occasionally, teachers may incorporate subjective emotions when grading students, which can lead to unfair outcomes. By focusing exclusively on performance, we ensure a more objective and equitable assessment process.

In summary, relying solely on student performance for grading purposes is the most impartial and unbiased method. This approach eliminates potential subjectivity and promotes fairness among all students. (128 words)

Paul presents a compelling proposition, suggesting that journal writing may become a chore for students if they are not interested in. However, I firmly believe that journal writing serves as a meaningful learning method for students. By writing down something to express their thoughts, students can review the information in class and form their own systematic structure of knowledge. In this case, they can practice their major knowledge in a more clear way. For example, one of my architectural professorprofessors(two of my friend (friends)) asked us to summarize our insights on paper for his class, which allowed me to transfer numerous detailed points to a comprehensive knowledge system. What’s more, writing journal can also foster the connections between students and teachers, since teachers can directly know the thoughts and feedback from students and provide timely instruction. Therefore, while students who are not interested in it won’t take it seriously, it’s reasonable to encourage students to write journals periodically considering the enhancement of knowledge understanding and student-teacher relationship.

Paul presents a compelling argument, suggesting that journal writing may become a tedious task for students who lack interest in it. Nonetheless, I firmly believe that journal writing serves as a valuable learning tool for students.

Firstly, journal writing allows students to consolidate their learning by expressing their thoughts and reflecting on class content. In doing so, they can review the information and form their own systematic structure of knowledge. For instance, in my architectural design class, our professor asked us to write reflective journals on each project we completed. This practice not only helped me consolidate the design principles I learned but also allowed me to track my progress over time.

Moreover, journal writing can enhance communication between students and teachers by providing a platform for sharing thoughts and feedback. For example, a teacher could use journal entries to identify common misconceptions among students and address them in subsequent lessons.

In light of these benefits, it is reasonable to encourage students to engage in periodic journal writing despite some individuals' initial disinterest. By doing so, we can promote knowledge retention and foster stronger student-teacher relationships. (187 words)

From my perspective, students should be given grades. I appreciate Jake’s arguments that scores enable students to find out their shortages. Furthermore, grades are the most effective feedback to students, therefore, students who study harder than others will receive rewards-higher scores, and therefore will be boosted to achieve higher goals. For instance, my cousin puts lots of effort onin(This rule identifies wrong preposition usage.) French and got a high grade in high school.

6.文章修订

In my opinion, assigning grades to students is beneficial as it serves as an effective form of feedback and motivates them to strive for excellence. Although Jake's argument against grading due to its competitive nature holds some merit, I believe that the advantages of grading outweigh the potential drawbacks.

Grades offer a clear and quantifiable measure of a student's progress, allowing them to identify areas in need of improvement. For example, my cousin dedicated significant effort towards learning French and received high grades in high school. This positive reinforcement encouraged him to pursue French as his major in university.

Admittedly, Lila raises valid concerns regarding the competitive environment created by grading systems and the potential for students to feel discouraged. However, it is crucial for students to learn how to face challenges and criticism constructively. Grades serve as an essential tool in fostering resilience and preparing students for real-world situations where their performance will be evaluated.

In summary, while there are some negative aspects associated with grading systems, their role in providing valuable feedback and promoting personal growth cannot be overlooked. Therefore, I maintain that assigning grades to students is advantageous for their long-term development. (196 words)
