He may have failed to understand what was expected of him and could satisfy the instructor only after learning his error. The only argument that we have heard against giving out the marks is that if a lazy man gets a better mark at the mid-years than he expects he may fall off in his work for the rest of the year. Any such indirect benefit to lazy...
